Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship
eCouncil

The eCouncil is an alumni and faculty advisory group representing various areas of expertise within the high technology startup ecosystem. The group acts as a sort of 'pre-council', giving early stage entrepreneurs advice, encouragement, connections and a source of accountability to help them launch as efficiently as possible.

Two entrepreneurs have the opportunity to meet with the Council each month. Entrepreneurs provide an executive summary at least one week ahead of time for the Counicl to review. On the day of the meeting, entrepreneurs give a 3-5 minute elevator pitch, and a longer 15-20 minute powerpoint presentation.  Following the presentation, advisor's provide feedback and guidance in the form of leads, contacts, and general business counsel.
