ERC EIR Application

ERC Entrepreneur In Residence Application
Help build what’s next.

The Entrepreneur Resource Center (ERC) at the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center is expanding its Entrepreneur-in-Residence (EIR) network and seeking experienced entrepreneurs, operators, investors, and commercialization leaders who want to help the next generation of founders build successful companies.

ERC EIRs work directly with early-stage founders and research-driven ventures to help them navigate the practical challenges of moving from idea and technology to viable company. EIRs serve as trusted advisors, sounding boards, connectors, and experienced partners—helping founders identify what they need to do next and, when appropriate, rolling up their sleeves to help them do it.

Commitment: Part-time, contracted role averaging 32–35 hours per month.
