HEAR FROM PAST MENTORS
"When I was presented the opportunity to participate as an entrepreneur-in-residence for Summer Accelerator, I enthusiastically accepted. Not only did it give me the ability to make an impact on student lives, it was personally rewarding to watch the incredible personal and professional growth of the students over the eight-week program. As a mentor to these students, I personally improved my leadership ability through the process of teaching others."

"For me, being a CCEI mentor isn't just about giving back. The teams would be surprised to know that I learn as much from them as they do from me! I find it energizing to learn about new industries and to work with founding team members that feel as excited as I did back when I started my first company. I feel that I've made quite a few new friends. I'm eager to watch the companies I mentored continue their journey!"
