SproutBox is a team designed to build startups. We've come together around a belief that startup culture is failing entrepreneurs and we've made a commitment to change it.
We're experienced, opinionated and driven. Our team members have founded and sold companies, managed thousands of employees, won a plethora of awards, and controlled massive budgets. But our strongest characteristic is a dedication to ensuring entrepreneurial success. Each of us is addicted to creating new companies and SproutBox gives us our fix.

The SproutBox Selection and Advisory Committee is a group of investors, entrepreneurs and community leaders committed to SproutBox's success. The Committee gathers quarterly to evaluate pitches from SproutBox finalists. Along with several other mentors, Selection and Advisory Committee members also share their stories, one on one, with entrepreneurs at SproutBox's weekly Entrepreneur's Lunches. Selection and Advisory Committee members, along with members of our Investor Network, are great resources for advice and follow on funding.
