In the spring of 2007, EP established a San Francisco Bay Area Regional Council to expand our presence on the West Coast and to offer new opportunities to Brown students. The Council consists of 13 distinguished alumni entrepreneurs in the area and will broaden students’ perspective through direct involvement with the unique entrepreneurial culture there.

The main objective of the Bay Area Regional Council in its inaugural year is to facilitate summer internship opportunities for Brown students. We have thus far secured the internships below for interested and motivated students for the summer of 2008. If you run a business or organization and would like to offer an exclusive internship opportunity to students involved with EP, click here.
