Survey: Participant Pre-session Homework Assignment

What is your name?
Instructions: Please complete this homework and submit your answers by Friday October 30^th.

Step 1. Think of an example of an entrepreneur (real or fictitious) in the entrepreneurship ecosystem that could gain something from Accelerate Kentucky. Imagine their situation and answer these brief questions about them:
What is their name?
Where do they live?
What is their background?
What is their business/product/service?
What stage of business are they in?
What services have they benefitted from so far?
What do they lack from currently available resources that they need to help them grow?

Step 2: Review the previously developed mission and vision for Accelerate Kentucky.

Vision	Strong companies, rewarding jobs, and exceptional talent in Kentucky through innovation-driven entrepreneurship.
Mission	to be the catalyst for innovation-driven entrepreneurship across Kentucky by supporting all stakeholders in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Ask yourself: Could an organization with this mission and vision help the entrepreneur named in Step 1? Then, if you have suggestions to improve the mission and vision, write them here and be ready to discuss them with the group during the session.

Step 3: In one or two-word answers, what value do you think Accelerate Kentucky could add to the entrepreneurship ecosystem? (i.e. the value a bank brings a customer could be “Account Management”, “Lending” and “Investing.”)
