GPSEG Entrepreneurs Circle Pre-Interview Admission Questionnaire

Please answer the following questions so you may self-select as to whether you would like to interview before the group. (If your entrepreneur experience is in the recent past, please answer about that venture.)

Please note that the reason for the closed status of this sub-group is that business details of highly confidential nature are often discussed, necessitating a high degree of trust. We maintain this level of trust and continuity through the requirements for membership.

In addition to having credentials as an entrepreneur, the requirements include attendance at 8 or more monthly meetings per year and the ability and desire to freely share insight and advice based on your experience, as well as resources for entrepreneurial development.
