SAGE
Our SAGE (Social & Advisory Group for Entrepreneurs) program is a monthly forum where a group of volunteer advisors meet with entrepreneurs to listen to business concepts and share advice and offer assistance to drive early stage planning.
The primary mission of SAGE is to provide promising early stage companies with advisory and mentoring services as they prepare themselves to meet the criteria for full RMI2 membership.
Each month 1-2 companies will make ‘pre-business’ plan presentations to a panel of expert business advisors. Following these presentations, the panel provides realtime feedback to the presenters, and some indicate willingness to provide additional advice on an ongoing basis.
SAGE program panel participants are volunteer advisors who are asked to be available for 12 months or more, attend at least a third of the meetings, contribute up to 10 hours a month, and have an interest in getting closely aligned with one or more very early stage companies.
