Team Advisors

Dedicated Guidance for Growing Ventures

Team Advisors bring entrepreneurial experience and industry expertise to ZIP Launchpad teams through ongoing, one-on-one mentorship. They work closely with founders to set goals, navigate challenges, and make meaningful progress toward launching and growing their ventures.

How Team Advisors Support Teams

Team Advisors work with their assigned teams throughout the semester to provide consistent guidance and accountability. Advisors help teams:

• Establish clear goals and priorities for the semester
• Work through business and startup challenges
• Stay accountable to milestones and next steps
• Apply entrepreneurial and industry experience to key decisions
• Make progress toward validation, launch, and continued growth

Teams typically meet with their assigned advisor weekly or biweekly, building an ongoing relationship tailored to their venture’s goals and needs.
