Entrepreneurs in Residence

E² Business Solutions Entrepreneurs-in-Residence Program retains the services of proven executives and entrepreneurs. These start-up veterans help us evaluate incoming funding requests as well as help our start-up portfolio companies organize, strategize, and solve day-to-day operational challenges. At the same time, we give them the time and resources to evaluate markets, technologies and business plans in preparation for their own next ventures.

We've organized and staffed E² Business Solutions to make us an advantage rather than an obstacle to start-up companies that need to get moving and make smart decisions fast. Which means we bring a depth of hands-on experience, a cache of contacts, and a passion for putting in long hours and lots of miles in pursuit of a partner's success.

Relative to other venture firms, we're fairly unusual in our focus on early-stage funding. We aim in this direction simply because it's where we can do the most good: it's where we can best contribute our experience in building companies

• forming strategies and sustainable businesses
• recruiting executives, advisors and directors
• bringing other investors to the table
• keeping the whole process on an intelligent track.

Most start-ups need day-to-day counsel as much as capital, whether it's an analysis of your business strategies, guidance on how to protect your intellectual property, or advice on market direction, E² Business Solutions, its advisors, and entrepreneurs-in-residence are on call to prevent wrong turns and lost time. Reserves of smart people are every bit as valuable as reserves of cash.
