Our advisory board is made up of experienced entrepreneurs, investors, and business leaders, including several iSchool alumni:

Entrepreneurs-in-residence (EIRs)

Our EIRs support our community events and provide mentorship to first-time student founders. EIRs are typically UW students who bring substantial prior experience as entrepreneurs or VC investors. If you’re an iSchool student and would like to meet with an EIR, please stop by during their drop-in office hours or contact us for additional scheduling options.
