Virtual EiRs

Entrepreneurship@Johnson has assembled a group of alums and friends with a wide range of industry experience to be "Virtual Entrepreneurs in Residence". Members of this group are active business people and service providers, not resident at the Johnson School, who are willing to talk with Cornell affiliated people (students, alums, faculty and staff) about their businesses and business ideas. This is an opportunity to pick the brain of a seasoned business professional, get some meaningful feedback and refine your business' vision and scope. Participating Virtual EiRs include:
