Entrepreneurship in residence role
How is the growth in the Entrepreneur in residence role? Is anyone EIR here? Please share insights on the career prospects
EIR is basically a junior version of CoS role (based on my experience as EIR). EIR role is primarily coming from VCs. Hence the definition of EIR changes from one startup to another.
When I worked as an EIR, my role was to create bandwidth for CEO by taking low level work out of his plate. This gave me an exposure to a lot of things that happen in a startup. Eventually led me to take lead of one of the dept later.
For your case, I would suggest to get an understanding of what is the expectation.
I want to work with a startup as an entrepreneur. Working on parallel startup idea which is similar to what startup is already doing (same value proposition) but for a diff target audience
