iVenture is the educational accelerator for top student startups at the University of Illinois. iVenture companies have raised over $500M and created over 1,000 full-time jobs around the world.
Tasked with putting the program in the global spotlight as the world's leading public university startup accelerator, I crafted a team of 8 student fellows who worked to support the 16 ventures in the program's 8th cohort with everything from design, to pitching, to press.
I return each summer to coach the current cohort with marketing, design, and the ins-and-outs of early-stage startups.

Fun story
It's the night before our Demo Day event, and one of our ventures receives a cease & desist email— they have to rebrand by the next morning, and it's already 9pm.
After a quick panic, a cup of coffee, and 4 hours of tedious designing, printing, cutting, and sticking new branding onto our print materials, the company was clear of any violation. Crisis averted!
