<div>= Overview<br/> =<br />
<br />
At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, we have what is known as the “Innovation Engine” this is the sum of the widespread opportunities for students to get involved in academic research, pursue business ideas, participate in entrepreneurial courses, enter business competitions, or simply get involved with an innovative student organization. This Innovation Engine is the ambitious goal of our campus Leadership who are creating an Innovation Campus and building new spaces for interdisciplinary collaborative research with many partners in the Milwaukee areas. When looking at our landscape canvas there are a great deal of opportunities that exist for students. However, in the past weeks to months, we have been able to really take a pulse of the campus and examine if the students are really being engaged. This seems to be the case for few, but far more students do not know about the resources available to them and far more students do not execute their ideas. There is a sense of close mindedness, fear, and perceived lack of support that needs to be addressed. Students need to be excited and given a chance to truly let their creative juices and passions pour into an idea free of judgement, where they can take on the risks and pursue new opportunities. We want students to dare to be different and think not about simply getting a job, but creating a job. We need to ignite a new fresh more exciting and exhilarating innovation engine that does not focus exclusively on the academic research but also in the personal pursuits of students. We need to inspired students and make them believe that they too can change the world. For these reasons the following six strategies are designed to maximize the hidden potential that lies within the student body and the faculty and administrators that teach students each and everyday. The resources on campus are there, but they need to be reorganized and they need to be given a context for those who are outside of the compartmentalized and easily isolated groups and colleges. There are 14 schools and colleges at UWM with nearly 30,000 students and over 1,600 faculty, so it is easy for resources and programs to get lost in the shuffle and as a result of the scale of UWM our current I&E ecosystem is quite fragments, with no clear pathways for progress. These six strategies aim to solve many of these problems that plague the campus and ultimately deter some students from pursuing their ideas. Our goal is that with these strategies in place our university can have a centralized I&E ecosystem that has a low barrier to entry; easily identifiable and transparent pathways for resource sharing; and ability to cultivate, nurture and expose ideas. We want to reward students for their participation in the I&E ecosystem and we want to other students to feel like they want to be apart of the I&E ecosystem.<br />

These ambitions should be rewarded and acknowledged. In a similar manner to our Undergraduate Certificate in Entrepreneurship, the graduate certificate would require students to take select courses that provide them the basic skills they would need, such courses could include:<br />

*Description: This year semester at UWM, the Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization created the Student Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Well instead of just honoring one person, I felt we could take this from a single participant award to honoring many of the students based on progress and achievements as they pusue their own venture. For Example we would honor a student when they:<br />
**participate in 5 campus sessions<br />
**create their minimum viable product<br />
**launch their business<br />
**recieve their first customer sale<br />
**become cash flow positive<br />

<br />
= Strategy #6: UWM Innovation Center<br/> =<br />
<br />
The UWM Innovation Center is our largest and most ambitious strategy yet. It will ultimately be the summation of all our previous strategies but in one location. This center will not only allow students to create but also allow them to work and meet side by side key members in the business world. We want this to be a place where students can meet with investors, entrepreneurs, businesses, students, faculty, clients, customers, and anyone else that they may need. This space will not only be a workshop but it would have a professional business lounge, have offices, house actual businesses, have a restaurant or two, and even have a few hotel rooms where students and maybe even a living learning community dorm.<br />
<br />
== Tactic #1: Design the Center ==<br />
<br />
*Description: Begin by getting input from faculty, staff, administrators and most importantly students. Determine what would be in the center, what would it be used for, what is the mission, how can it help the campus and get everyone to agree on how this center should take form.<br />
<br />
== Tactic #2: Determine Logistics ==<br />
<br />
*Description: Once the idea is formulated with a clear understanding of what the UWM-Innovation Center will be, then the next step is to handle all of the logistics. We need to figure out where we can build this center, how do we get it approved by the university and how can we put it into the University campus plan. Other things to consider are looking for investments.<br />
<br />
== Tactic #3: Build the Center ==<br />
<br />
*Description: The UWM Innovation Center is for future students, so they can have a permanent space on campus to create, build, and manifest their dreams.<br />
<br />
= Impact<br/> =<br />
<br />
To be detemrined after we show some of our campus leaders our goals. Then we will build metrics to measure our impact.<br />

= Strategy #6: UWM Innovation Center<br/> =<br />
<br />
The UWM Innovation Center is our largest and most ambitious strategy yet. It will ultimately be the summation of all our previous strategies but in one location. This center will not only allow students to create but also allow them to work and meet side by side key members in the business world. We want this to be a place where students can meet with investors, entrepreneurs, businesses, students, faculty, clients, customers, and anyone else that they may need. This space will not only be a workshop but it would have a professional business lounge, have offices, house actual businesses, have a restaurant or two, and even have a few hotel rooms where students and maybe even a living learning community dorm.<br />
<br />
== Tactic #1: Design the Center ==<br />
<br />
*Description: Begin by getting input from faculty, staff, administrators and most importantly students. Determine what would be in the center, what would it be used for, what is the mission, how can it help the campus and get everyone to agree on how this center should take form.<br />
<br />
== Tactic #2: Determine Logistics ==<br />
<br />
*Description: Once the idea is formulated with a clear understanding of what the UWM-Innovation Center will be, then the next step is to handle all of the logistics. We need to figure out where we can build this center, how do we get it approved by the university and how can we put it into the University campus plan. Other things to consider are looking for investments.<br />
<br />
== Tactic #3: Build the Center ==<br />
<br />
*Description: The UWM Innovation Center is for future students, so they can have a permanent space on campus to create, build, and manifest their dreams.<br />

<div>= Overview<br/> =<br />
<br />
At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, we have what is known as the “Innovation Engine” this is the sum of the widespread opportunities for students to get involved in academic research, pursue business ideas, participate in entrepreneurial courses, enter business competitions, or simply get involved with an innovative student organization. This Innovation Engine is the ambitious goal of our campus Leadership who are creating an Innovation Campus and building new spaces for interdisciplinary collaborative research with many partners in the Milwaukee areas. When looking at our landscape canvas there are a great deal of opportunities that exist for students. However, in the past weeks to months, we have been able to really take a pulse of the campus and examine if the students are really being engaged. This seems to be the case for few, but far more students do not know about the resources available to them and far more students do not execute their ideas. There is a sense of close mindedness, fear, and perceived lack of support that needs to be addressed. Students need to be excited and given a chance to truly let their creative juices and passions pour into an idea free of judgement, where they can take on the risks and pursue new opportunities. We want students to dare to be different and think not about simply getting a job, but creating a job. We need to ignite a new fresh more exciting and exhilarating innovation engine that does not focus exclusively on the academic research but also in the personal pursuits of students. We need to inspired students and make them believe that they too can change the world. For these reasons the following six strategies are designed to maximize the hidden potential that lies within the student body and the faculty and administrators that teach students each and everyday. The resources on campus are there, but they need to be reorganized and they need to be given a context for those who are outside of the compartmentalized and easily isolated groups and colleges. There are 14 schools and colleges at UWM with nearly 30,000 students and over 1,600 faculty, so it is easy for resources and programs to get lost in the shuffle and as a result of the scale of UWM our current I&E ecosystem is quite fragments, with no clear pathways for progress. These six strategies aim to solve many of these problems that plague the campus and ultimately deter some students from pursuing their ideas. Our goal is that with these strategies in place our university can have a centralized I&E ecosystem that has a low barrier to entry; easily identifiable and transparent pathways for resource sharing; and ability to cultivate, nurture and expose ideas. We want to reward students for their participation in the I&E ecosystem and we want to other students to feel like they want to be apart of the I&E ecosystem.<br />

I am very excited to be an Innovation Fellow candidate because I am a huge proponent of innovation and entrepreuralism. I want more students in my school to think outside and focus less on finding a job after college and spend more time on making their own job after college. This is the challenge that I am ready to undertake and work with the other University Innovation Fellows from my university to solve. I want more students to take advantage of the increasing number of resources for student entrepreneurs and go after their dreams, becuase it is the students who can change the future.<br />

I am very excited to be an Innovation Fellow candidate because I am a huge proponent of innovation and entrepreuralism. I want more students in my school to think outside and focus less on finding a job after college and spend more time on making their own job after college. This is the challenge that I am ready to undertake and work with the other University Innovation Fellows from my university to solve. I want more students to take advantage of the increasing number of resources for student entrepreneurs and go after their dreams, becuase it is the students who can change the future.<br />

I am very excited to be an Innovation Fellow candidate because I am a huge proponent of innovation and entrepreuralism. I want more students in my school to think outside and focus less on finding a job after college and spend more time on making their own job after college. This is the challenge that I am ready to undertake and work with the other University Innovation Fellows from my university to solve. I want more students to take advantage of the increasing number of resources for student entrepreneurs and go after their dreams, becuase it is the students who can change the future.<br />

I am very excited to be an Innovation Fellow candidate because I am a huge proponent of innovation and entrepreuralism. I want more students in my school to think outside and focus less on finding a job after college and spend more time on making their own job after college. This is the challenge that I am ready to undertake and work with the other University Innovation Fellows from my university to solve. I want more students to take advantage of the increasing number of resources for student entrepreneurs and go after their dreams, becuase it is the students who can change the future.<br />

<span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;">Dr. Reeves studies the field of tribology, the science of friction, lubrication, and wear in mechanical contacts. His research focuses on the development of environmentally friendly lubricants that satisfy the combination of environmental, health, economic, and performance challenges of modern lubricants. More specifically, Dr. Reeves concentrates on the design and advancement of environmentally benign ionic liquid lubricants and the use of micro- and nano-scale technologies that facilitate energy conservation and sustainability in high and low temperature systems.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Beyond the rigors of academia, Dr. Reeves is highly involved in entrepreneurship and innovation. As a doctoral student, he participated in local and national business competitions, where he launched his own business Tali Payments. A cloud-based mobile payment service for the restaurant industry that is designed for high volume turnover transactions where customers can order and pre-pay for their meals from the convenience of their smartphone for faster “grab-n’-go” meal delivery without the hassle of waiting in long lines. Now, with the system developed; operational at local restaurants; and piloting at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Dr. Reeves and his team are ready to scale their business up for a variety of dining markets.</span><br />

<span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;">Dr. Reeves studies the field of tribology, the science of friction, lubrication, and wear in mechanical contacts. His research focuses on the development of environmentally friendly lubricants that satisfy the combination of environmental, health, economic, and performance challenges of modern lubricants. More specifically, Dr. Reeves concentrates on the design and advancement of environmentally benign ionic liquid lubricants and the use of micro- and nano-scale technologies that facilitate energy conservation and sustainability in high and low temperature systems.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"></span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Beyond the rigors of academia, Dr. Reeves is highly involved in entrepreneurship and innovation. As a doctoral student, he participated in local and national business competitions, where he launched his own business Tali Payments. A cloud-based mobile payment service for the restaurant industry that is designed for high volume turnover transactions where customers can order and pre-pay for their meals from the convenience of their smartphone for faster “grab-n’-go” meal delivery without the hassle of waiting in long lines. Now, with the system developed; operational at local restaurants; and piloting at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Dr. Reeves and his team are ready to scale their business up for a variety of dining markets.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;">Dr. Reeves studies the field of tribology, the science of friction, lubrication, and wear in mechanical contacts. His research focuses on the development of environmentally friendly lubricants that satisfy the combination of environmental, health, economic, and performance challenges of modern lubricants. More specifically, Dr. Reeves concentrates on the design and advancement of environmentally benign ionic liquid lubricants and the use of micro- and nano-scale technologies that facilitate energy conservation and sustainability in high and low temperature systems.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;">Beyond the rigors of academia, Dr. Reeves is highly involved in entrepreneurship and innovation. As a doctoral student, he participated in local and national business competitions, where he launched his own business Tali Payments. A cloud-based mobile payment service for the restaurant industry that is designed for high volume turnover transactions where customers can order and pre-pay for their meals from the convenience of their smartphone for faster “grab-n’-go” meal delivery without the hassle of waiting in long lines. Now, with the system developed; operational at local restaurants; and piloting at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Dr. Reeves and his team are ready to scale their business up for a variety of dining markets.</span><br />

'''Personal Biography'''<br />
<br />
Dr. Reeves studies the field of tribology, the science of friction, lubrication, and wear in mechanical contacts. His research focuses on the development of environmentally friendly lubricants that satisfy the combination of environmental, health, economic, and performance challenges of modern lubricants. More specifically, Dr. Reeves concentrates on the design and advancement of environmentally benign ionic liquid lubricants and the use of micro- and nano-scale technologies that facilitate energy conservation and sustainability in high and low temperature systems.<br />
<br />
Beyond the rigors of academia, Dr. Reeves is highly involved in entrepreneurship and innovation. As a doctoral student, he participated in local and national business competitions, where he launched his own business Tali Payments. A cloud-based mobile payment service for the restaurant industry that is designed for high volume turnover transactions where customers can order and pre-pay for their meals from the convenience of their smartphone for faster “grab-n’-go” meal delivery without the hassle of waiting in long lines. Now, with the system developed; operational at local restaurants; and piloting at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Dr. Reeves and his team are ready to scale their business up for a variety of dining markets.<br />

<br />
The Pipeline Fund Fellowship (PFF) or [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com Pipeline Fellowship] is an angel investing bootcamp for women philanthropists with a goal of increasing diversity in the U.S. angel investing community and creating capital for women social entrepreneurs. The program includes three components: [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/workshopspeakers/ education], [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/mentors/ mentoring], and [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/pitch-summit/ practice]. The Pipeline Fellowship aims to diversify the investor pool and connect women social entrepreneurs with investors who understand them.<br />

<br />
= Purpose =<br />
<br />
In 2012, only 22% of U.S. angel investors were women and only 5% were minorities, according to the Center for Venture Research at the University of New Hampshire. The Pipeline Fellowship, an angel investing bootcamp for women, works to increase diversity in the U.S. angel investing community and creates capital for women social entrepreneurs. Since launching its first angel investing bootcamp in April 2011, the Pipeline Fellowship has trained over seventy women, who have committed more than US$350k in investment, and has expanded from New York City to Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C..<br />

<br />
= Program Overview =<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship is an angel investing bootcamp for women and includes three main components: education, mentoring, and practice. Applications for our spring 2014 programs in Boston, Chicago, DC, and NYC are being reviewed on a rolling basis.<br />
<br />
[[File:Banner-events.jpg]]<br />
<br />
=== Criteria ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship’s three main criteria are: a) Meeting one of the accredited investor definitions (i.e., US$200K in income or US$300K joint income with spouse for the past two years, or US$1M net worth) b) Interest in group learning model c) Passion for social entrepreneurship<br />
<br />
=== Commitment ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship is a six-month angel investing bootcamp for women and the time commitment is approximately two full days per month during the six months. The Pipeline Fellowship program fee is US$4.5k. Each Pipeline Fellow also commits to invest US$5k in the same woman-led for-profit social venture at the end of the program.<br />
<br />
=== Locations ===<br />
<br />
Currently, the Pipeline Fellowship operates in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
=== Fellows ===<br />
<br />
For most of the Pipeline Fellows, this is their first angel investment. They are attracted by the program’s three components (education, mentoring, practice) and benefit from the diversity of each cohort. Pipeline Fellows are intergenerational (ranging from late twenties to 60+) and come from a variety of professional backgrounds.<br />
<br />
=== Alumnae ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship has seen the ripple effects of training women to become angels—in addition to continuing to invest in startups, Pipeline Fellowship alumnae have gone on to join later stage angel networks, as well as launch an accelerator and angel groups.<br />
<br />
= Investments =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;">Pipeline Fellows are looking to invest in women entrepreneurs building tomorrow’s The Body Shop, Honest Tea, method, Seventh Generation, Warby Parker, and Zipcar. Some of the women-led for-profit social ventures that secured funding from Pipeline Fellows after presenting at a Pipeline Fellowship Pitch Summit include:</span><br />

What makes the [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com Pipeline Fellowship]&nbsp;different from other fellowships is that it is an angel investing bootcamp with a specific focus towards women philanthropists with a goal of increasing diversity in the angel investing community and creating capital for female social entrepreneurs. Generally, when one considers an entrepreneurial fellowship, it caters towards the founders, this particualr fellowship is aimed at teaching female investors how to become Angel Investors through three core competencies:&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/workshopspeakers/ education],&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/mentors/ mentoring], and&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/pitch-summit/ practice].<br />
<br />
=== Education<br/> ===<br />

= Impact Achieved for Students and Campus =<br />
<br />
The impact of such a program like Pipeline Fellowship is dual sided. On one end of the spectrum there is the&nbsp;Pipeline Fellowship’s angel investing bootcamp for women that could be used to introduce female college students to the world of investments, private equity, business evaluation, and financial modeling. On the other end of the spectrum there is the Pipeline Fellowship Pitch Summit that provides opportunitiies for eager entrepreneurs to seek capital for the ventures. Ultimately, the experiential learning that can transpire through this fellowship can be specifically tailored towards college students so they can witness both sides of the financial world. Students can learn how to evaluate businesses as well as have an opportunity to showcase their businesses and seek funding and mentorship to grow their companies. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
= Steps Required to Bring Competition to Your Campus =<br />
<br />
To bring a program like Pipeline Fellowships to a college, one would need to first identify prospective students interested in being "investors" and faculty or local business executives to be the "mentors". It would also help if the university or some other entity could sponsor the investments to give more credibility. Then advertisements could be made around the campus to solicite student entrepreneurs to submit proposals for grant funding. Next, the mentors who can work with the prospective student-investors to evaluate the proposals and determine what investments they would like to make. From this point, the system becomes more like a mentor-mentee relationship where the student learns about venture finance and gain mentorship from faculty or business executives. Additionally, the students, whose ideas get funded can work on developing their business ideas, minumum valuable product, customer discovery, financial model, and business plan to inevitably grow their business.<br />

= Purpose =<br />
<br />
In 2012, only 22% of U.S. angel investors were women and only 5% were minorities, according to the Center for Venture Research at the University of New Hampshire. The Pipeline Fellowship, an angel investing bootcamp for women, works to increase diversity in the U.S. angel investing community and creates capital for women social entrepreneurs. Since launching its first angel investing bootcamp in April 2011, the Pipeline Fellowship has trained over seventy women, who have committed more than US$350k in investment, and has expanded from New York City to Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C..<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size:larger;">Founding COO</span><br />
<br />
As Founding COO, Lauren was part of the initial launch of the Pipeline Fellowship and assisted in building the program’s foundation since its first angel investing bootcamp in April 2011. During her tenure, the Pipeline Fellowship trained over seventy women—who committed more than US$350K in investment—and expanded to multiple cities across the United States. Lauren helped establish the Pipeline Fellowship as a leader in training women to become angel investors, as well as creating capital for women-led for-profit social ventures. Prior to the Pipeline Fellowship, she worked in the nonprofit and public sectors in economic development, environmental issues, and women’s empowerment. Lauren received her BA from Washington University in St. Louis and her MPA from Indiana University’s School for Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA). She is also a proud School for International Training (SIT) alumna. You can catch up with Lauren on Twitter (@laurenabele) and at about.me/laurenabele.<br />
<br />
= Program Overview =<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship is an angel investing bootcamp for women and includes three main components: education, mentoring, and practice. Applications for our spring 2014 programs in Boston, Chicago, DC, and NYC are being reviewed on a rolling basis.<br />
<br />
[[File:Banner-events.jpg]]<br />
<br />
=== Criteria ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship’s three main criteria are: a) Meeting one of the accredited investor definitions (i.e., US$200K in income or US$300K joint income with spouse for the past two years, or US$1M net worth) b) Interest in group learning model c) Passion for social entrepreneurship<br />
<br />
=== Commitment ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship is a six-month angel investing bootcamp for women and the time commitment is approximately two full days per month during the six months. The Pipeline Fellowship program fee is US$4.5k. Each Pipeline Fellow also commits to invest US$5k in the same woman-led for-profit social venture at the end of the program.<br />
<br />
=== Locations ===<br />
<br />
Currently, the Pipeline Fellowship operates in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
=== Fellows ===<br />
<br />
For most of the Pipeline Fellows, this is their first angel investment. They are attracted by the program’s three components (education, mentoring, practice) and benefit from the diversity of each cohort. Pipeline Fellows are intergenerational (ranging from late twenties to 60+) and come from a variety of professional backgrounds.<br />
<br />
=== Alumnae ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship has seen the ripple effects of training women to become angels—in addition to continuing to invest in startups, Pipeline Fellowship alumnae have gone on to join later stage angel networks, as well as launch an accelerator and angel groups.<br />
<br />
= Investments =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;">Pipeline Fellows are looking to invest in women entrepreneurs building tomorrow’s The Body Shop, Honest Tea, method, Seventh Generation, Warby Parker, and Zipcar. Some of the women-led for-profit social ventures that secured funding from Pipeline Fellows after presenting at a Pipeline Fellowship Pitch Summit include:</span><br />

<br />
What makes the [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com Pipeline Fellowship]&nbsp;different from other fellowships is that it is an angel investing bootcamp with a specific focus towards women philanthropists with a goal of increasing diversity in the angel investing community and creating capital for female social entrepreneurs. Generally, when one considers an entrepreneurial fellowship, it caters towards the founders, this particualr fellowship is aimed at teaching female investors how to become Angel Investors through three core competencies:&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/workshopspeakers/ education],&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/mentors/ mentoring], and&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/pitch-summit/ practice].<br />
<br />
=== Education<br/> ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship holds workshops on topics ranging from Due Diligence, Valuation, Portfolio Strategies, and Measuring Impact. The workshops are led by experts, including seasoned angel investors, VCs, experienced entrepreneurs, and impact investing professionals.<br />
<br />
=== Mentoring ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship matches Pipeline Fellows with seasoned angel investors who share best practices and lessons learned.<br />
<br />
=== Practice ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship Pitch Summit is an opportunity for invited women entrepreneurs to present their for-profit social ventures for a chance to secure funding.<br />
<br />
= Impact Achieved for Students and Campus =<br />
<br />
The impact of such a program like Pipeline Fellowship is dual sided. On one end of the spectrum there is the&nbsp;Pipeline Fellowship’s angel investing bootcamp for women that could be used to introduce female college students to the world of investments, private equity, business evaluation, and financial modeling. On the other end of the spectrum there is the Pipeline Fellowship Pitch Summit that provides opportunitiies for eager entrepreneurs to seek capital for the ventures. Ultimately, the experiential learning that can transpire through this fellowship can be specifically tailored towards college students so they can witness both sides of the financial world. Students can learn how to evaluate businesses as well as have an opportunity to showcase their businesses and seek funding and mentorship to grow their companies. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
= Steps Required to Bring Competition to Your Campus =<br />
<br />
To bring a program like Pipeline Fellowships to a college, one would need to first identify prospective students interested in being "investors" and faculty or local business executives to be the "mentors". It would also help if the university or some other entity could sponsor the investments to give more credibility. Then advertisements could be made around the campus to solicite student entrepreneurs to submit proposals for grant funding. Next, the mentors who can work with the prospective student-investors to evaluate the proposals and determine what investments they would like to make. From this point, the system becomes more like a mentor-mentee relationship where the student learns about venture finance and gain mentorship from faculty or business executives. Additionally, the students, whose ideas get funded can work on developing their business ideas, minumum valuable product, customer discovery, financial model, and business plan to inevitably grow their business.<br />

= Purpose =<br />
<br />
In 2012, only 22% of U.S. angel investors were women and only 5% were minorities, according to the Center for Venture Research at the University of New Hampshire. The Pipeline Fellowship, an angel investing bootcamp for women, works to increase diversity in the U.S. angel investing community and creates capital for women social entrepreneurs. Since launching its first angel investing bootcamp in April 2011, the Pipeline Fellowship has trained over seventy women, who have committed more than US$350k in investment, and has expanded from New York City to Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C..<br />

= Program Overview =<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship is an angel investing bootcamp for women and includes three main components: education, mentoring, and practice. Applications for our spring 2014 programs in Boston, Chicago, DC, and NYC are being reviewed on a rolling basis.<br />
<br />
[[File:Banner-events.jpg]]<br />
<br />
=== Criteria ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship’s three main criteria are: a) Meeting one of the accredited investor definitions (i.e., US$200K in income or US$300K joint income with spouse for the past two years, or US$1M net worth) b) Interest in group learning model c) Passion for social entrepreneurship<br />
<br />
=== Commitment ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship is a six-month angel investing bootcamp for women and the time commitment is approximately two full days per month during the six months. The Pipeline Fellowship program fee is US$4.5k. Each Pipeline Fellow also commits to invest US$5k in the same woman-led for-profit social venture at the end of the program.<br />
<br />
=== Locations ===<br />
<br />
Currently, the Pipeline Fellowship operates in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
=== Fellows ===<br />
<br />
For most of the Pipeline Fellows, this is their first angel investment. They are attracted by the program’s three components (education, mentoring, practice) and benefit from the diversity of each cohort. Pipeline Fellows are intergenerational (ranging from late twenties to 60+) and come from a variety of professional backgrounds.<br />
<br />
=== Alumnae ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship has seen the ripple effects of training women to become angels—in addition to continuing to invest in startups, Pipeline Fellowship alumnae have gone on to join later stage angel networks, as well as launch an accelerator and angel groups.<br />
<br />
= Investments =<br />

What makes the [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com Pipeline Fellowship]&nbsp;different from other fellowships is that it is an angel investing bootcamp with a specific focus towards women philanthropists with a goal of increasing diversity in the angel investing community and creating capital for female social entrepreneurs. Generally, when one considers an entrepreneurial fellowship, it caters towards the founders, this particualr fellowship is aimed at teaching female investors how to become Angel Investors through three core competencies:&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/workshopspeakers/ education],&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/mentors/ mentoring], and&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/pitch-summit/ practice].<br />
<br />
=== Education<br/> ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship holds workshops on topics ranging from Due Diligence, Valuation, Portfolio Strategies, and Measuring Impact. The workshops are led by experts, including seasoned angel investors, VCs, experienced entrepreneurs, and impact investing professionals.<br />
<br />
=== Mentoring ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship matches Pipeline Fellows with seasoned angel investors who share best practices and lessons learned.<br />
<br />
=== Practice ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship Pitch Summit is an opportunity for invited women entrepreneurs to present their for-profit social ventures for a chance to secure funding.<br />
<br />
= Impact Achieved for Students and Campus =<br />
<br />
The impact of such a program like Pipeline Fellowship is dual sided. On one end of the spectrum there is the&nbsp;Pipeline Fellowship’s angel investing bootcamp for women that could be used to introduce female college students to the world of investments, private equity, business evaluation, and financial modeling. On the other end of the spectrum there is the Pipeline Fellowship Pitch Summit that provides opportunitiies for eager entrepreneurs to seek capital for the ventures. Ultimately, the experiential learning that can transpire through this fellowship can be specifically tailored towards college students so they can witness both sides of the financial world. Students can learn how to evaluate businesses as well as have an opportunity to showcase their businesses and seek funding and mentorship to grow their companies. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
= Steps Required to Bring Competition to Your Campus =<br />
<br />
To bring a program like Pipeline Fellowships to a college, one would need to first identify prospective students interested in being "investors" and faculty or local business executives to be the "mentors". It would also help if the university or some other entity could sponsor the investments to give more credibility. Then advertisements could be made around the campus to solicite student entrepreneurs to submit proposals for grant funding. Next, the mentors who can work with the prospective student-investors to evaluate the proposals and determine what investments they would like to make. From this point, the system becomes more like a mentor-mentee relationship where the student learns about venture finance and gain mentorship from faculty or business executives. Additionally, the students, whose ideas get funded can work on developing their business ideas, minumum valuable product, customer discovery, financial model, and business plan to inevitably grow their business.<br />

<br />
In 2012, only 22% of U.S. angel investors were women and only 5% were minorities, according to the Center for Venture Research at the University of New Hampshire.

Since launching its first angel investing bootcamp in April 2011, the Pipeline Fellowship has trained over seventy women, who have committed more than US$350k in investment, and has expanded from New York City to Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C..<br />

= Program Overview =<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship is an angel investing bootcamp for women and includes three main components: education, mentoring, and practice. Applications for our spring 2014 programs in Boston, Chicago, DC, and NYC are being reviewed on a rolling basis.<br />
<br />
[[File:Banner-events.jpg]]<br />
<br />
=== Criteria ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship’s three main criteria are: a) Meeting one of the accredited investor definitions (i.e., US$200K in income or US$300K joint income with spouse for the past two years, or US$1M net worth) b) Interest in group learning model c) Passion for social entrepreneurship<br />
<br />
=== Commitment ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship is a six-month angel investing bootcamp for women and the time commitment is approximately two full days per month during the six months. The Pipeline Fellowship program fee is US$4.5k. Each Pipeline Fellow also commits to invest US$5k in the same woman-led for-profit social venture at the end of the program.<br />
<br />
=== Locations ===<br />
<br />
Currently, the Pipeline Fellowship operates in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
=== Fellows ===<br />
<br />
For most of the Pipeline Fellows, this is their first angel investment. They are attracted by the program’s three components (education, mentoring, practice) and benefit from the diversity of each cohort. Pipeline Fellows are intergenerational (ranging from late twenties to 60+) and come from a variety of professional backgrounds.<br />
<br />
=== Alumnae ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship has seen the ripple effects of training women to become angels—in addition to continuing to invest in startups, Pipeline Fellowship alumnae have gone on to join later stage angel networks, as well as launch an accelerator and angel groups.<br />
<br />
= Investments =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;">Pipeline Fellows are looking to invest in women entrepreneurs building tomorrow’s The Body Shop, Honest Tea, method, Seventh Generation, Warby Parker, and Zipcar. Some of the women-led for-profit social ventures that secured funding from Pipeline Fellows after presenting at a Pipeline Fellowship Pitch Summit include:</span><br />

What makes the [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com Pipeline Fellowship]&nbsp;different from other fellowships is that it is an angel investing bootcamp with a specific focus towards women philanthropists with a goal of increasing diversity in the angel investing community and creating capital for female social entrepreneurs. Generally, when one considers an entrepreneurial fellowship, it caters towards the founders, this particualr fellowship is aimed at teaching female investors how to become Angel Investors through three core competencies:&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/workshopspeakers/ education],&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/mentors/ mentoring], and&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/pitch-summit/ practice].<br />
<br />
=== Education<br/> ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship holds workshops on topics ranging from Due Diligence, Valuation, Portfolio Strategies, and Measuring Impact. The workshops are led by experts, including seasoned angel investors, VCs, experienced entrepreneurs, and impact investing professionals.<br />
<br />
=== Mentoring ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship matches Pipeline Fellows with seasoned angel investors who share best practices and lessons learned.<br />

<br />
= Impact Achieved for Students and Campus =<br />
<br />
The impact of such a program like Pipeline Fellowship is dual sided. On one end of the spectrum there is the&nbsp;Pipeline Fellowship’s angel investing bootcamp for women that could be used to introduce female college students to the world of investments, private equity, business evaluation, and financial modeling. On the other end of the spectrum there is the Pipeline Fellowship Pitch Summit that provides opportunitiies for eager entrepreneurs to seek capital for the ventures. Ultimately, the experiential learning that can transpire through this fellowship can be specifically tailored towards college students so they can witness both sides of the financial world. Students can learn how to evaluate businesses as well as have an opportunity to showcase their businesses and seek funding and mentorship to grow their companies. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
= Steps Required to Bring Competition to Your Campus =<br />
<br />
To bring a program like Pipeline Fellowships to a college, one would need to first identify prospective students interested in being "investors" and faculty or local business executives to be the "mentors". It would also help if the university or some other entity could sponsor the investments to give more credibility. Then advertisements could be made around the campus to solicite student entrepreneurs to submit proposals for grant funding. Next, the mentors who can work with the prospective student-investors to evaluate the proposals and determine what investments they would like to make. From this point, the system becomes more like a mentor-mentee relationship where the student learns about venture finance and gain mentorship from faculty or business executives. Additionally, the students, whose ideas get funded can work on developing their business ideas, minumum valuable product, customer discovery, financial model, and business plan to inevitably grow their business.<br />

The program includes three components: [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/workshopspeakers/ education], [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/mentors/ mentoring], and [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/pitch-summit/ practice].

<br />
<br />
<div></div><br />
= Purpose =<br />
<br />
In 2012, only 22% of U.S. angel investors were women and only 5% were minorities, according to the Center for Venture Research at the University of New Hampshire.

Since launching its first angel investing bootcamp in April 2011, the Pipeline Fellowship has trained over seventy women, who have committed more than US$350k in investment, and has expanded from New York City to Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C..<br />

<br />
= Program Overview =<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship is an angel investing bootcamp for women and includes three main components: education, mentoring, and practice. Applications for our spring 2014 programs in Boston, Chicago, DC, and NYC are being reviewed on a rolling basis.<br />
<br />
[[File:Banner-events.jpg]]<br />
<br />
=== Criteria ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship’s three main criteria are: a) Meeting one of the accredited investor definitions (i.e., US$200K in income or US$300K joint income with spouse for the past two years, or US$1M net worth) b) Interest in group learning model c) Passion for social entrepreneurship<br />
<br />
=== Commitment ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship is a six-month angel investing bootcamp for women and the time commitment is approximately two full days per month during the six months. The Pipeline Fellowship program fee is US$4.5k. Each Pipeline Fellow also commits to invest US$5k in the same woman-led for-profit social venture at the end of the program.<br />
<br />
=== Locations ===<br />
<br />
Currently, the Pipeline Fellowship operates in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
=== Fellows ===<br />
<br />
For most of the Pipeline Fellows, this is their first angel investment. They are attracted by the program’s three components (education, mentoring, practice) and benefit from the diversity of each cohort. Pipeline Fellows are intergenerational (ranging from late twenties to 60+) and come from a variety of professional backgrounds.<br />
<br />
=== Alumnae ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship has seen the ripple effects of training women to become angels—in addition to continuing to invest in startups, Pipeline Fellowship alumnae have gone on to join later stage angel networks, as well as launch an accelerator and angel groups.<br />
<br />
= Investments =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;">Pipeline Fellows are looking to invest in women entrepreneurs building tomorrow’s The Body Shop, Honest Tea, method, Seventh Generation, Warby Parker, and Zipcar.

<br />
What makes the [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com Pipeline Fellowship]&nbsp;different from other fellowships is that it is an angel investing bootcamp with a specific focus towards women philanthropists with a goal of increasing diversity in the angel investing community and creating capital for female social entrepreneurs. Generally, when one considers an entrepreneurial fellowship, it caters towards the founders, this particualr fellowship is aimed at teaching female investors how to become Angel Investors through three core competencies:&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/workshopspeakers/ education],&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/mentors/ mentoring], and&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/pitch-summit/ practice].<br />
<br />
=== Education<br/> ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship holds workshops on topics ranging from Due Diligence, Valuation, Portfolio Strategies, and Measuring Impact. The workshops are led by experts, including seasoned angel investors, VCs, experienced entrepreneurs, and impact investing professionals.<br />
<br />
=== Mentoring ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship matches Pipeline Fellows with seasoned angel investors who share best practices and lessons learned.<br />
<br />
=== Practice ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship Pitch Summit is an opportunity for invited women entrepreneurs to present their for-profit social ventures for a chance to secure funding.<br />
<br />
= Impact Achieved for Students and Campus =<br />
<br />
The impact of such a program like Pipeline Fellowship is dual sided. On one end of the spectrum there is the&nbsp;Pipeline Fellowship’s angel investing bootcamp for women that could be used to introduce female college students to the world of investments, private equity, business evaluation, and financial modeling. On the other end of the spectrum there is the Pipeline Fellowship Pitch Summit that provides opportunitiies for eager entrepreneurs to seek capital for the ventures. Ultimately, the experiential learning that can transpire through this fellowship can be specifically tailored towards college students so they can witness both sides of the financial world. Students can learn how to evaluate businesses as well as have an opportunity to showcase their businesses and seek funding and mentorship to grow their companies. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
= Steps Required to Bring Competition to Your Campus =<br />
<br />
To bring a program like Pipeline Fellowships to a college, one would need to first identify prospective students interested in being "investors" and faculty or local business executives to be the "mentors". It would also help if the university or some other entity could sponsor the investments to give more credibility. Then advertisements could be made around the campus to solicite student entrepreneurs to submit proposals for grant funding. Next, the mentors who can work with the prospective student-investors to evaluate the proposals and determine what investments they would like to make. From this point, the system becomes more like a mentor-mentee relationship where the student learns about venture finance and gain mentorship from faculty or business executives. Additionally, the students, whose ideas get funded can work on developing their business ideas, minumum valuable product, customer discovery, financial model, and business plan to inevitably grow their business.<br />

<br />
The Pipeline Fund Fellowship (PFF) or [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com Pipeline Fellowship] is an angel investing bootcamp for women philanthropists with a goal of increasing diversity in the U.S. angel investing community and creating capital for women social entrepreneurs. The program includes three components: [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/workshopspeakers/ education], [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/mentors/ mentoring], and [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/pitch-summit/ practice]. The Pipeline Fellowship aims to diversify the investor pool and connect women social entrepreneurs with investors who understand them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div></div><br />
= Purpose =<br />
<br />
In 2012, only 22% of U.S. angel investors were women and only 5% were minorities, according to the Center for Venture Research at the University of New Hampshire. The Pipeline Fellowship, an angel investing bootcamp for women, works to increase diversity in the U.S. angel investing community and creates capital for women social entrepreneurs. Since launching its first angel investing bootcamp in April 2011, the Pipeline Fellowship has trained over seventy women, who have committed more than US$350k in investment, and has expanded from New York City to Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C..<br />

<br />
= Program Overview =<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship is an angel investing bootcamp for women and includes three main components: education, mentoring, and practice. Applications for our spring 2014 programs in Boston, Chicago, DC, and NYC are being reviewed on a rolling basis.<br />
<br />
[[File:Banner-events.jpg]]<br />
<br />
=== Criteria ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship’s three main criteria are: a) Meeting one of the accredited investor definitions (i.e., US$200K in income or US$300K joint income with spouse for the past two years, or US$1M net worth) b) Interest in group learning model c) Passion for social entrepreneurship<br />
<br />
=== Commitment ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship is a six-month angel investing bootcamp for women and the time commitment is approximately two full days per month during the six months. The Pipeline Fellowship program fee is US$4.5k. Each Pipeline Fellow also commits to invest US$5k in the same woman-led for-profit social venture at the end of the program.<br />
<br />
=== Locations ===<br />
<br />
Currently, the Pipeline Fellowship operates in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
=== Fellows ===<br />
<br />
For most of the Pipeline Fellows, this is their first angel investment. They are attracted by the program’s three components (education, mentoring, practice) and benefit from the diversity of each cohort. Pipeline Fellows are intergenerational (ranging from late twenties to 60+) and come from a variety of professional backgrounds.<br />
<br />
=== Alumnae ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship has seen the ripple effects of training women to become angels—in addition to continuing to invest in startups, Pipeline Fellowship alumnae have gone on to join later stage angel networks, as well as launch an accelerator and angel groups.<br />
<br />
= Investments =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;">Pipeline Fellows are looking to invest in women entrepreneurs building tomorrow’s The Body Shop, Honest Tea, method, Seventh Generation, Warby Parker, and Zipcar. Some of the women-led for-profit social ventures that secured funding from Pipeline Fellows after presenting at a Pipeline Fellowship Pitch Summit include:</span><br />

<br />
What makes the [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com Pipeline Fellowship]&nbsp;different from other fellowships is that it is an angel investing bootcamp with a specific focus towards women philanthropists with a goal of increasing diversity in the angel investing community and creating capital for female social entrepreneurs. Generally, when one considers an entrepreneurial fellowship, it caters towards the founders, this particualr fellowship is aimed at teaching female investors how to become Angel Investors through three core competencies:&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/workshopspeakers/ education],&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/mentors/ mentoring], and&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/pitch-summit/ practice].<br />
<br />
=== Education<br/> ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship holds workshops on topics ranging from Due Diligence, Valuation, Portfolio Strategies, and Measuring Impact. The workshops are led by experts, including seasoned angel investors, VCs, experienced entrepreneurs, and impact investing professionals.<br />
<br />
=== Mentoring ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship matches Pipeline Fellows with seasoned angel investors who share best practices and lessons learned.<br />
<br />

<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship Pitch Summit is an opportunity for invited women entrepreneurs to present their for-profit social ventures for a chance to secure funding.<br />
<br />
= Impact Achieved for Students and Campus =<br />
<br />
The impact of such a program like Pipeline Fellowship is dual sided. On one end of the spectrum there is the&nbsp;Pipeline Fellowship’s angel investing bootcamp for women that could be used to introduce female college students to the world of investments, private equity, business evaluation, and financial modeling. On the other end of the spectrum there is the Pipeline Fellowship Pitch Summit that provides opportunitiies for eager entrepreneurs to seek capital for the ventures. Ultimately, the experiential learning that can transpire through this fellowship can be specifically tailored towards college students so they can witness both sides of the financial world. Students can learn how to evaluate businesses as well as have an opportunity to showcase their businesses and seek funding and mentorship to grow their companies. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
= Steps Required to Bring Competition to Your Campus =<br />
<br />
To bring a program like Pipeline Fellowships to a college, one would need to first identify prospective students interested in being "investors" and faculty to be the "mentors". It would also help if the university or some other entity could sponsor the investments. Then advertisements could be made around the campus to solicite student entrepreneurs to submit proposals for grant funding. Next, the mentors who can work with the prospective students need to be identified. From this point one, the system becomes more like a mentor-mentee relationship where the student learns about venture finance.<br />

The program includes three components: [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/workshopspeakers/ education], [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/mentors/ mentoring], and [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/pitch-summit/ practice].

= Purpose =<br />
<br />
In 2012, only 22% of U.S. angel investors were women and only 5% were minorities, according to the Center for Venture Research at the University of New Hampshire. The Pipeline Fellowship, an angel investing bootcamp for women, works to increase diversity in the U.S. angel investing community and creates capital for women social entrepreneurs. Since launching its first angel investing bootcamp in April 2011, the Pipeline Fellowship has trained over seventy women, who have committed more than US$350k in investment, and has expanded from New York City to Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C..<br />

<br />
= Program Overview =<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship is an angel investing bootcamp for women and includes three main components: education, mentoring, and practice. Applications for our spring 2014 programs in Boston, Chicago, DC, and NYC are being reviewed on a rolling basis.<br />
<br />
[[File:Banner-events.jpg]]<br />
<br />
=== Criteria ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship’s three main criteria are: a) Meeting one of the accredited investor definitions (i.e., US$200K in income or US$300K joint income with spouse for the past two years, or US$1M net worth) b) Interest in group learning model c) Passion for social entrepreneurship<br />
<br />
=== Commitment ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship is a six-month angel investing bootcamp for women and the time commitment is approximately two full days per month during the six months. The Pipeline Fellowship program fee is US$4.5k. Each Pipeline Fellow also commits to invest US$5k in the same woman-led for-profit social venture at the end of the program.<br />
<br />
=== Locations ===<br />
<br />
Currently, the Pipeline Fellowship operates in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
=== Fellows ===<br />
<br />
For most of the Pipeline Fellows, this is their first angel investment. They are attracted by the program’s three components (education, mentoring, practice) and benefit from the diversity of each cohort. Pipeline Fellows are intergenerational (ranging from late twenties to 60+) and come from a variety of professional backgrounds.<br />
<br />
=== Alumnae ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship has seen the ripple effects of training women to become angels—in addition to continuing to invest in startups, Pipeline Fellowship alumnae have gone on to join later stage angel networks, as well as launch an accelerator and angel groups.<br />
<br />
= Investments =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;">Pipeline Fellows are looking to invest in women entrepreneurs building tomorrow’s The Body Shop, Honest Tea, method, Seventh Generation, Warby Parker, and Zipcar. Some of the women-led for-profit social ventures that secured funding from Pipeline Fellows after presenting at a Pipeline Fellowship Pitch Summit include:</span><br />

What makes the [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com Pipeline Fellowship]&nbsp;different from other fellowships is that it is an angel investing bootcamp with a specific focus towards women philanthropists with a goal of increasing diversity in the angel investing community and creating capital for female social entrepreneurs. Generally, when one considers an entrepreneurial fellowship, it caters towards the founders, this particualr fellowship is aimed at teaching female investors how to become Angel Investors through three core competencies:&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/workshopspeakers/ education],&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/mentors/ mentoring], and&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/pitch-summit/ practice].<br />
<br />
=== Education<br/> ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship holds workshops on topics ranging from Due Diligence, Valuation, Portfolio Strategies, and Measuring Impact. The workshops are led by experts, including seasoned angel investors, VCs, experienced entrepreneurs, and impact investing professionals.<br />
<br />
=== Mentoring ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship matches Pipeline Fellows with seasoned angel investors who share best practices and lessons learned.<br />
<br />
=== Practice ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship Pitch Summit is an opportunity for invited women entrepreneurs to present their for-profit social ventures for a chance to secure funding.<br />
<br />
= Impact Achieved for Students and Campus =<br />
<br />
The impact of such a program like Pipeline Fellowship is dual sided. On one end of the spectrum there is the&nbsp;Pipeline Fellowship’s angel investing bootcamp for women that could be used to introduce female college students to the world of investments, private equity, business evaluation, and financial modeling. On the other end of the spectrum there is the Pipeline Fellowship Pitch Summit that provides opportunitiies for eager entrepreneurs to seek capital for the ventures. Ultimately, the experiential learning that can transpire through this fellowship can be specifically tailored towards college students so they can witness both sides of the financing world. Students can learn how to evaluate businesses on the backend as well as have an opportunity to showcase their businesses and seek funding and mentorship to grow their companies. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
= Steps Required to Bring Competition to Your Campus =<br />
<br />
To bring a program like Pipeline Fellowships to a college, one would need to first identify prospective students interested in being "investors" and faculty to be the "mentors". It would also help if the university or some other entity could sponsor the investments. Then advertisements could be made around the campus to solicite student entrepreneurs to submit proposals for grant funding. Next, the mentors who can work with the prospective students need to be identified. From this point one, the system becomes more like a mentor-mentee relationship where the student learns about venture finance.<br />

<br />
The Pipeline Fund Fellowship (PFF) or [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com Pipeline Fellowship] is an angel investing bootcamp for women philanthropists with a goal of increasing diversity in the U.S. angel investing community and creating capital for women social entrepreneurs. The program includes three components: [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/workshopspeakers/ education], [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/mentors/ mentoring], and [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/pitch-summit/ practice]. The Pipeline Fellowship aims to diversify the investor pool and connect women social entrepreneurs with investors who understand them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div></div><br />
= Purpose =<br />
<br />
In 2012, only 22% of U.S. angel investors were women and only 5% were minorities, according to the Center for Venture Research at the University of New Hampshire. The Pipeline Fellowship, an angel investing bootcamp for women, works to increase diversity in the U.S. angel investing community and creates capital for women social entrepreneurs. Since launching its first angel investing bootcamp in April 2011, the Pipeline Fellowship has trained over seventy women, who have committed more than US$350k in investment, and has expanded from New York City to Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C..<br />

<br />
= Program Overview =<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship is an angel investing bootcamp for women and includes three main components: education, mentoring, and practice. Applications for our spring 2014 programs in Boston, Chicago, DC, and NYC are being reviewed on a rolling basis.<br />
<br />
[[File:Banner-events.jpg]]<br />
<br />
=== Criteria ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship’s three main criteria are: a) Meeting one of the accredited investor definitions (i.e., US$200K in income or US$300K joint income with spouse for the past two years, or US$1M net worth) b) Interest in group learning model c) Passion for social entrepreneurship<br />
<br />
=== Commitment ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship is a six-month angel investing bootcamp for women and the time commitment is approximately two full days per month during the six months. The Pipeline Fellowship program fee is US$4.5k. Each Pipeline Fellow also commits to invest US$5k in the same woman-led for-profit social venture at the end of the program.<br />
<br />
=== Locations ===<br />
<br />
Currently, the Pipeline Fellowship operates in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
=== Fellows ===<br />
<br />
For most of the Pipeline Fellows, this is their first angel investment. They are attracted by the program’s three components (education, mentoring, practice) and benefit from the diversity of each cohort. Pipeline Fellows are intergenerational (ranging from late twenties to 60+) and come from a variety of professional backgrounds.<br />
<br />
=== Alumnae ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship has seen the ripple effects of training women to become angels—in addition to continuing to invest in startups, Pipeline Fellowship alumnae have gone on to join later stage angel networks, as well as launch an accelerator and angel groups.<br />
<br />
= Investments =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;">Pipeline Fellows are looking to invest in women entrepreneurs building tomorrow’s The Body Shop, Honest Tea, method, Seventh Generation, Warby Parker, and Zipcar. Some of the women-led for-profit social ventures that secured funding from Pipeline Fellows after presenting at a Pipeline Fellowship Pitch Summit include:</span><br />

What makes the [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com Pipeline Fellowship]&nbsp;different from other fellowships is that it is an angel investing bootcamp with a specific focus towards women philanthropists with a goal of increasing diversity in the angel investing community and creating capital for female social entrepreneurs. Generally, when one considers an entrepreneurial fellowship, it caters towards the founders, this particualr fellowship is aimed at teaching female investors how to become Angel Investors through three core competencies:&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/workshopspeakers/ education],&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/mentors/ mentoring], and&nbsp;[http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/pitch-summit/ practice].<br />
<br />
=== Education<br/> ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship holds workshops on topics ranging from Due Diligence, Valuation, Portfolio Strategies, and Measuring Impact. The workshops are led by experts, including seasoned angel investors, VCs, experienced entrepreneurs, and impact investing professionals.<br />
<br />
=== Mentoring ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship matches Pipeline Fellows with seasoned angel investors who share best practices and lessons learned.<br />

= Impact Achieved for Students and Campus =<br />
<br />
The impact of such a program like Pipeline Fellowship is dual sided. On one end of the spectrum there is the&nbsp;Pipeline Fellowship’s angel investing bootcamp for women that could be used to introduce female college students to the world of investments, private equity, business evaluation, and financial modeling. On the other end of the spectrum there is the Pipeline Fellowship Pitch Summit that provides opportunitiies for eager entrepreneurs to seek capital for the ventures. Ultimately, the experiential learning that can transpire through this fellowship can be specifically tailored towards college students so they can witness both sides of the financing world. Students can learn how to evaluate businesses on the backend as well as have an opportunity to showcase their businesses and seek funding and mentorship to grow their companies. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
= Steps Required to Bring Competition to Your Campus =<br />
<br />
To bring a program like Pipeline Fellowships to a college, one would need to first identify prospective students interested in being "investors" and faculty to be the "mentors". It would also help if the university or some other entity could sponsor the investments. Then advertisements could be made around the campus to solicite student entrepreneurs to submit proposals for grant funding. Next, the mentors who can work with the prospective students need to be identified. From this point one, the system becomes more like a mentor-mentee relationship where the student learns about venture finance.<br />

The program includes three components: [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/workshopspeakers/ education], [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/about/mentors/ mentoring], and [http://www.pipelinefellowship.com/pitch-summit/ practice].

= Purpose =<br />
<br />
In 2012, only 22% of U.S. angel investors were women and only 5% were minorities, according to the Center for Venture Research at the University of New Hampshire. The Pipeline Fellowship, an angel investing bootcamp for women, works to increase diversity in the U.S. angel investing community and creates capital for women social entrepreneurs. Since launching its first angel investing bootcamp in April 2011, the Pipeline Fellowship has trained over seventy women, who have committed more than US$350k in investment, and has expanded from New York City to Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C..<br />

<br />
= Program Overview =<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship is an angel investing bootcamp for women and includes three main components: education, mentoring, and practice. Applications for our spring 2014 programs in Boston, Chicago, DC, and NYC are being reviewed on a rolling basis.<br />
<br />
[[File:Banner-events.jpg]]<br />
<br />
=== Criteria ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship’s three main criteria are: a) Meeting one of the accredited investor definitions (i.e., US$200K in income or US$300K joint income with spouse for the past two years, or US$1M net worth) b) Interest in group learning model c) Passion for social entrepreneurship<br />
<br />
=== Commitment ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship is a six-month angel investing bootcamp for women and the time commitment is approximately two full days per month during the six months. The Pipeline Fellowship program fee is US$4.5k. Each Pipeline Fellow also commits to invest US$5k in the same woman-led for-profit social venture at the end of the program.<br />
<br />
=== Locations ===<br />
<br />
Currently, the Pipeline Fellowship operates in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
=== Fellows ===<br />
<br />
For most of the Pipeline Fellows, this is their first angel investment. They are attracted by the program’s three components (education, mentoring, practice) and benefit from the diversity of each cohort. Pipeline Fellows are intergenerational (ranging from late twenties to 60+) and come from a variety of professional backgrounds.<br />
<br />
=== Alumnae ===<br />
<br />
The Pipeline Fellowship has seen the ripple effects of training women to become angels—in addition to continuing to invest in startups, Pipeline Fellowship alumnae have gone on to join later stage angel networks, as well as launch an accelerator and angel groups.<br />
<br />
= Investments =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;">Pipeline Fellows are looking to invest in women entrepreneurs building tomorrow’s The Body Shop, Honest Tea, method, Seventh Generation, Warby Parker, and Zipcar. Some of the women-led for-profit social ventures that secured funding from Pipeline Fellows after presenting at a Pipeline Fellowship Pitch Summit include:</span><br />

= Impact Achieved for Students and Campus =<br />
<br />
The impact of such a program like Pipeline Fellowship is dual sided. On one end of the spectrum there is the&nbsp;Pipeline Fellowship’s angel investing bootcamp for women that could be used to introduce female college students to the world of investments, private equity, business evaluation, and financial modeling. On the other end of the spectrum there is the Pipeline Fellowship Pitch Summit that provides opportunitiies for eager entrepreneurs to seek capital for the ventures. Ultimately, the experiential learning that can transpire through this fellowship can be specifically tailored towards college students so they can witness both sides of the financing world. Students can learn how to evaluate businesses on the backend as well as have an opportunity to showcase their businesses and seek funding and mentorship to grow their companies. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
= Steps Required to Bring Competition to Your Campus =<br />
<br />
To bring a program like Pipeline Fellowships to a college, one would need to first identify prospective students interested in being "investors" and faculty to be the "mentors". It would also help if the university or some other entity could sponsor the investments. Then advertisements could be made around the campus to solicite student entrepreneurs to submit proposals for grant funding. Next, the mentors who can work with the prospective students need to be identified. From this point one, the system becomes more like a mentor-mentee relationship where the student learns about venture finance.<br />
