Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Innovation Initiative
INCUBATOR MENTOR REGISTRATION
Kogod is passionate about the power of entrepreneurship to change lives; build sustainable new business,
nonprofit and social ventures; create economic opportunities; link purpose and profit; and make a difference.
The Kogod School Incubator is an integral component of the Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Initiative and a student’s entrepreneurial educational experience. Students complete a Proof of Idea Proposal,
are interviewed and, if admitted to the Incubator, transition from “learning” about entrepreneurship to “living”
entrepreneurship in a supportive environment as they move forward to transition their passion and their idea
into reality.
Please complete and return this Incubator Mentor Registration to: elab@american.edu along with a copy
of your CV or bio. You will be contacted concerning the next steps and to schedule a follow up phone
conversation.
