The Center Advisory Board is a selective panel of global professionals who are driven leaders with a passion for paying it forward and sharing their expertise with the world.

After working for Shark Tank, I wanted to find an organization that shared my passion for helping entrepreneurs across the globe. As a member of the Young Advisory Board at the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center, I have found my home.

The Center has been an incredible and transformative experience for both me and the startups I work with. Cannot stress enough how valuable the Center is in regards to networking and resources you typically would not have access to.
