The Executive-In-Residence (EIR) is a program sponsored by the Farley Center that provides Northwestern students with the opportunity to receive coaching, networking, and overall guidance from alumni and friends of the university involved in the global entrepreneurial ecosystem. EIRs can be entrepreneurs within startups or successful companies, angel and venture investors, or entrepreneurs that are driving new businesses or innovations with large, established companies.

The program is designed to give students the opportunity to start conversations with EIRs. Initial meetings may evolve into ongoing relationships, depending on mutual interest of the student and the EIR. EIRs usually maintain very full schedules but may be open to ongoing mentorship and discussions. EIR meetings are not meant to be opportunities for job requests.
