Silicon Hills Venture Capitalists Join Advisory Board for Frontier's Dual Tech Venture MBA
Frontier Innovation University has appointed six prominent Austin venture capitalists and technology founders to the Advisory Board of the MBA in Tech Venture & Austin Innovation Ecosystem dual-award program.
The advisory board members, representing top venture funds and startup incubators in the Silicon Hills region, will participate directly in student pitch evaluations, term venture clinics, and startup capstone defenses. Students in the dual MBA track receive 1-on-1 mentorship on term sheet negotiation, cap table structuring, enterprise B2B sales cycles, and Series A fundraising strategies.
"The difference between a generic business degree and an elite venture MBA is direct proximity to capital and execution," said an Advisory Board Member and Managing Partner at an Austin tech venture fund. "We are working with Frontier students to stress-test their business models and turn high-potential concepts into venture-backed companies."
The MBA dual track is conferred in partnership with Arizona State University Network, granting graduates double US Master of Business Administration diplomas.
