Entrepreneurship In Residence Models - EIRs weigh in

by an investor from University of Cambridge

Jul 13,2022

I'm trying to get a little more colour on the different types of EIR in the search world.  Here's what I see search investors offering as EIR: 
1) EIR as an in-house role to find, acquire, and run a company in-house for the investment firm (no ownership stake)
2) EIR as a searcher in a sponsored-search (one investor)
3) EIR as a searcher in an incubated search (one investor)
4) EIR as a hybrid of an in-house role and either a sponsored or incubated search

Am I missing anything?  Is there one predominant model, and/or is the model evolving?  Current and past EIRs and investors who engage them, please weigh in!
