Entrepreneurs-in-Residence
Entrepreneurs-in-Residence (EIRs) provide mentorship and encourage professional networking. They are chosen based on their expertise and deep connections within their respective industries.
EIRs are selected by the Burgess Institute and serve for two years.
At the start of the academic year, each EIR is matched with multiple student founders who have been accepted into the Launch venture creation program. Each EIR is empowered to work with their assigned students across the year, helping them build their ventures toward market readiness. Since its inception, the EIR program provides student venturers with a strong foundation and drives student success and excellence.
