      While working as an executive on loan to the EPIIC Venture Attractor at UCCS I operationalized the founding team's vision to establish the Scale to $1million Startup Program to support early-stage ventures. To do so I managed the program design and external communication. I also developed and oversaw the venture evaluation system to select optimal early-stage ventures for the program. Lastly, I drafted legal documentation and financial models to establish a venture capital fund to attract ventures to the Pikes Peak region. Show less
