Connect with Mentors, Advisors, and Entrepreneurs-in-Residence

Meaningful connections are the foundation of entrepreneurial learning. Whether you’re refining an idea, navigating your next step, or simply curious about where innovation can take you, guidance from those who’ve walked the path matters. That’s why we’ve built a strong network of entrepreneurs-in-residence, alumni mentors, and trusted advisors; people who are eager to share their experiences, ask good questions, and help you think critically about your goals. These relationships are at the heart of what we do because entrepreneurship is not a solo journey. It’s a practice that’s shaped through conversation, community, and learning from others.
