I directed & led University of Michigan's student startup incubator program (TechArb) for the 2013 Winter session. I oversaw 15 student-founded startups that ranged in progress from idea/conceptualization phase to already launched & profitable. I mentored all teams personally at least once per week and facilitated weekly guest speakers (successful entrepreneurs, VC/Angels, etc) and various events (networking/showcase and workshops) to help teams grow their ventures.I also initiated and built relationships with Google, Amazon, and several other companies to provide perks for TechArb teams such as free hosting and advertising services, and I personally developed new resources and infrastructure to benefit TechArb teams (for example, a comprehensive compilation of online resources useful to entrepreneurs & a website to host them: http://michigantecharb.com).It was a great pleasure to be a part of the multi-faceted Center for Entrepreneurship team and to work with visionary faculty from the College of Engineering, Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship, and Ross School of Business. It was also fantastic to collaborate with so many extremely talented & motivated individuals, most of whom (>80%) are still pursuing their venture and have achieved significant traction.
