Higher Ed Entrepreneurial Ecosystems in Oakland, California

Read my blog

I'm on a mission to bring Higher Ed and Entrepreneurship together in more powerful and efficient ways, for the purposes of philanthropy, innovation, and alumni engagement. I'm a Higher Ed Advancement professional at Dartmouth College, based in our San Francisco office. I've built solutions at Dartmouth and UC Berkeley, most notably the Berkeley Founders' Pledge (http://founderspledge.berkeley.edu) and related programming; and a soon to launch project at Dartmouth. I was featured in the Mar/Apr issue of CASE Currents magazine (trade publication for the $41b/yr educational philanthropy industry). I believe Advancement is the most underleveraged node in an ecosystem--and that's a huge opportunity for entrepreneurs, for universities, and for our communities.
