Timing - Building the Advisor Cohort - We will announce accepted teams on February 20th and will pair teams with advisors as we move towards the first training session.  We will pair teams with advisors by considering advisors' experience and each accepted team's business concept.  We will respond to your submission throughout this period. We will be communicating with advisors via emails from c4e@hccs.edu; and sometimes via a phone call or text to speak to or reach an individual advisor.

Thank you for your time and consideration!  Being of service as a volunteer advisor can change the lives of these entrepreneurs!
