Illinois Champions
Illinois Launch Advisory Board of Champions
Champions are an important resource for start-up companies. At the University of Illinois, where our alumni have founded PayPal, YouTube, CashNetUSA, and more, there is a substantial need for an organized group of Champions that provide aid to entrepreneurs who need capital and/or expertise to build their businesses. The existence of this Advisory Board will help to keep the start-up environment thriving at the University of Illinois. Further, there is a large pool of committed alumni with business experience who are looking for investment opportunities, a means to help students, and to provide financial support to the University.
