E-Hub Coaching Sessions
Coaching Sessions allow successful Bentley alumni to engage with the student community to share their experiences and wisdom with students in a short but intensive format. Bentley alumni who participate offer a unique perspective drawing on their entrepreneurship journey. Coaching sessions typically focus on a specific aspect (e.g. developing a pitch deck, brainstorming an idea, exploring the angel investing landscape, and others).
Graduate and undergraduate students, staff and recent alumni are invited and attendance is capped at 15 participants. These 90-minute Coaching Sessions are held at The Somers Garage on weekday evenings and consist of a presentation followed by a discussion driven by those in attendance.
