Wade In Residence Program

Providing exceptional entrepreneurs, investors and academics a home base and support to supercharge their groundbreaking ideas.

Program overview

Wade Institute’s In Residence is a unique program granting exceptional entrepreneurs, academics and investors support and access to facilities to supercharge their ideas and research.

Entrepreneurs in Residence (EIR) and Investors in Residence (IIR) gain 24/7 access to Wade Institute’s purpose-built entrepreneurship centre and through our dedicated program team, Australia’s most diverse entrepreneurial and venture capital networks.

Our EiRs and IIRs are uniquely placed to support the next generation of founders and investors including students of the University of Melbourne’s Master of Entrepreneurship and participants from Wade’s UpSchool F-10 and VC Catalyst programs. 

EiRs and IIRs are important components of our entrepreneurial education ecosystem. They contribute their time, expertise, knowledge and networks into our suite of programs and are available for office hours, mentorship, and general support.
