Whether you're a successful founder or an industry specialist, this is your chance to support the next generation of entrepreneurs and learn along the way.
Being an Advisor

- Participate in startup selection
- Advisory Board membership
- Face-to-face team meetings
Being an Expert
For those who don’t have time to dedicate themselves to a particular team, we have a secondary pool of standby experts that will work with one or more startups on an ad-hoc basis. They provide niche advice, troubleshoot problems startups face, and provide introductions to their personal network. The time commitment is on an as-needed basis when best suits.
