About Srijita Ghosh

My goal is to help passionate founders grow and scale their companies. I am a champion for the Oklahoma and Midwest startup ecosystem and an advocate for traditionally underserved entrepreneurs. I have a diverse background and experience in mentoring startups, connecting founders to resources and capital, and economic development. I am a global citizen who speaks three languages and enjoys collaborating with inclusive-minded individuals who prioritize problem-solving and adding value vs focusing on titles/bureaucracy. In my role as a Venture Advisor at i2E, I work one-on-one with entrepreneurs, researchers, and early-stage companies in Oklahoma, helping them with strategic planning, market assessment, financial analysis, business plans, investor presentations, and capital strategies. I also work extensively with management teams of these high-growth and innovative companies, supporting their overall business commercialization efforts. I hold a Bachelor\'s degree in Business Administration from East Central University, where I graduated as the valedictorian, and a Digital Marketing Nanodegree from Udacity. I am also involved in various local and regional organizations that promote entrepreneurship and innovation, such as 1 Million Cups OKC, Oklahoma Venture Forum, Oklahoma Venture Resource Council, and East Central University Alumni Association.
