FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long is the Entrepreneur in Residence program?

The Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) program is structured as an intensive six-month engagement. Following the program's conclusion, successful ventures have the opportunity to move into a dedicated launch phase, securing initial capital to fuel their growth.

Do I need to have a fully formed idea to apply?

Not at all! We welcome applications from entrepreneurs with problem areas they're deeply committed to solving, even if the specific solution isn't fully defined. Part of the EIR journey is exploring and validating ideas together.

How does the program evaluate applications?

We receive interest from a wide range of entrepreneurs and aim to build cohorts that align with the program’s goals. We look for founders with a compelling vision and relevant experience. The process involves a series of in-depth interviews and discussions designed to ensure mutual fit and fully explore your background.
