Special Programs
Beyond the consulting we provide to corporate clients, we’ve developed a few other ways to empower individuals who want to make a difference.
Entrepreneur In Residence
Occasionally, we come across a founder working on a startup that we just need to support.
Seeking Our Next Candidate
We are looking for our next entrepreneur in residence.
We work best with startups at the earliest stage - before fundraising, before the push to scale - when the value proposition, product-market fit, brand, and offerings are all still taking shape. You have a small core team, and you favor a lean startup approach. You may already be operating, but you don't have to be.
If that sounds like your venture - or you know one we should meet - please let us know.
Elizabeth Ulanova, Girls in Research
2024-2026
Elizabeth Ulanova, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, works at the intersection of culture, art, tech, and design. She attended Columbia University, the University of Cambridge, and the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. Elizabeth was awarded 3 consecutive Spark Grants from Harvard Innovation Labs for her work on Recess, a startup that uses active play to build community, connection, and resilience.
Elizabeth is a passionate artist and writer, deeply influenced by fluid, psychological storytelling. She has exhibited original artworks in New York, England, and Boston. Elizabeth’s artwork ranges from abstract sculptures and fluid paintings to conceptual video installations, graphic renderings, and live-spoken poetry. Born in California, Elizabeth is a New Yorker at heart, has lived in Asia and Europe, and has a lifelong love of travel that has taken her to countries on five continents.
Girls In Research is the first global, virtual, research and tech incubator for high school girls.
“I started Girls in Research to empower the next generation of women leaders, researchers, and innovators. My parents - non-English-speaking immigrants of color - came to the States in order to seek medical relief for my older brother (who passed away at 10 in 1997). I grew up as the de facto eldest child of a first-generation family, and the deep, complex meaning behind that identity shaped my connection to the world around me. Entrepreneurship and education were not just the means of achieving a better dignified life, but sometimes the only path to do so. Since I can remember, I have always wanted to start a company for social impact, but most importantly, to build community - for our students, for our mentors, and for our employees, where their work is valued, supported, and encouraged. As Uncle Iroh would say, ‘While it is always great to believe in oneself, a little help from others can be a great blessing’.”
