Jeff Reid is a name well recognized by educators and the D.C. Tech community alike. As the Founding Director of the Georgetown Entrepreneurship Initiative, Reid took the time to engage with the local tech crowd prior to launching a brand new entrepreneurship program fostering student innovation. He recognized what invaluable assets startup founders are to education institutions, and took advantage of the resources at his fingertips. It seems like a natural connection to make – a university working side-by-side with the burgeoning startup community – but as it turns out, most schools nationwide tend to forget about how beneficial local up-and-coming businesses are to universities. Georgetown, however, certainly has not.
