OUR RECRUITMENT PROCESS
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
eTower is looking for individuals that are genuinely interested in the topic of entrepreneurship, as well as being team players that are active participants of our community. It’s not necessarily where you are now, but what kind of upward trajectory and potential you possess as an entrepreneur and community member. It's about your willingness to learn new skills, take risks, contribute positive energy, build community with others, and be an awesome person to live with. While there is no requirement to run your own business or have a venture idea, our residents all aspire to be entrepreneurial leaders in their own ways. Our core values that we live by and look for in our applicants are family, empathy, diversity, growth, innovation, and passion.

Do I need to have a business or current venture to join eTower?This definitely helps and may come naturally to many of our applicants, but the truth is you do not need to have a business or current venture to apply or live in eTower, nor does everyone in our community have their own startup or venture. Our requirement is that residents are either pursuing their own venture, working on another venture, or actively building entrepreneurial skills. Also, community fit is very important. You could have an incredible startup or idea, but if you are not interested in being an active community member, eTower is not the place for you. We personally believe that our businesses are strongest when we work and grow together, not as separate individuals. We are constantly intermeddling between each other’s ventures and ideas, and how we can improve and help each other.

What does a typical week look like, and what is the approximate time commitment I am expected to commit when joining eTower?"Every week, we have internal resident’s meetings generally before or after our weekly guest speakers. Then, we have workshops or professional hot seats on the weekends, as well as weekly accountability group meetings. Approximately, this is about 4 hours of recurring events that are mandatory to all residents, but optimally, your involvement is much greater than just being present at these functions, as living in this community is dynamic, spontaneous, and fun!

What is the best thing I can do to become a part of eTower’s community?The best thing you can do is first to possess a desire for growth and exploration in entrepreneurship, and then to interact with our community. Having these qualities makes eTower the right place for you to grow in an awesome community. You then want to meet as many of the resident’s as possible and get to know what they do and share what you are interested in/working on. There are many ways to go about interacting with our community like attending our Wednesday Speaker Events and getting to know our residents personally. However, please keep in mind that we are all in different stages of our entrepreneurial and personal growth journey, so there isn’t any kind of hierarchy for achievement and/or success. eTower is all about entrepreneurship for all! It’s your interest and potential to be a great entrepreneur and community member that we evaluate for.
