In general, what does an entrepreneur-in-residence (EIR) do? 

An EIR is someone who comes from an entrepreneurial background who is put in a position to share their knowledge, wisdom and experience with not so experienced entrepreneurs. They typically work inside large institutions like universities and for-profit companies. EIRs can assist any type of startup entity, no matter if the purpose is social, civic or for-profit.
