Education
During the summer semester in 2011, I provided mentoring to 12 student-led startups being incubated out of Hope College's Center for Faithful Leadership. I helped vet applicants' business ideas and worked directly with the awarded project teams. Using lean startup methodology, we moved each project from ideation into commercialization. We developed business plans and prepared those projects seeking outside capital to present to their business opportunities to local investors.
