Role of Mentor

The NSF I-Corps™, Accelerator, Global Innovation, and GEA mentors are typically individuals who are entrepreneurs, industry experts, and/or have experience transitioning technology from research to market. Their role is essential in guiding and advising the teams as they determine their market value proposition as well as assisting with industry introductions.

Our partner network provides expertise, mentorship, and support to our startups.

The Institute for the Global Entrepreneur is strategically connected to UC San Diego's broad ecosystem dedicated to building a culture of innovation.
