East Carolina University formulated the Entrepreneurial Initiatives (EI) in 2005 to advocate entrepreneurship in the academic community and in the eastern region of North Carolina. The Entrepreneurial Initiatives aims to develop public and private organizational connections within the region to provide the university an assistance in company development and product marketing, as well as to incite business innovations in the North Carolina eastern area. It is also intended to provide the students of the East Carolina University vital experience in the field of business. As part of the Entrepreneurial Initiatives' responsibilities, it handles the management and activities of the Eastern North Carolina-Investor Network.
The Eastern North Carolina-Investor Network is an organization of accredited investors who provide funding to early-stage companies. Since the East Carolina University Venture Forum was first held in January of 2002, the investment group also started to hold its own meetings. Then in May of 2005, the meetings became a regular monthly event where two business presentations are held. A total of over $8 million worth of investments connected with the Eastern North Carolina-Investor Network have been approved since 2002. Accredited investors that are interested to attend the group's meetings to hear quality investment opportunities should contact the Director of East Carolina University's Entrepreneurial Initiatives, Ms. Marty E. Hackney, either through phone or electronic mail.
Companies that are interested to apply for funding from the Eastern North Carolina-Investor Network should also contact Ms. Marty E. Hackney first before submitting the necessary requirements. After which, funding applicants can submit an executive summary, business plan, and a slide presentation that includes a return of investment projection through electronic or postal mail. If a company passes the initial qualification process, a capital rate chart should be submitted. A meeting with the investors is also required for further discussions and evaluation. This would determine if the company will qualify for the last stage of screening, which is the business presentation. A month before the business presentation, the company should submit a complete executive summary and term sheet. Final investment decisions will be made by the individual member investors after the business presentation.
