Board of Advisors

The Landuyt Center for Entrepreneurship’s Board of Advisors brings together leading founders, investors and entrepreneurs spanning Chicago, Silicon Valley and beyond including Illinois alumni Steve Chen, co-founder of YouTube, and Martin Eberhard, co-founder of Tesla, alongside Rick Landuyt, an entrepreneur who built and sold multiple technology companies and whose $20 million cumulative commitment gave the center its name. The board advises on strategy, strengthens access to investors and industry partners and brings a market-facing perspective that keeps the center’s programming, competitions and coursework aligned with real-world needs and strategic goals of the center.
