How have you all leveraged faculty in the business school and the wider university during/after school? Have they advised you on projects/businesses or referred you to jobs?

We have so many esteemed national and international experts with exceptional expertise and connections that dwarf our classmates, so I feel like focusing on partying and socializing with classmates is overrated.

Most of them are too academic for my taste and while they may have exceptional experience (e.g. former SEC chair, Director of IMF) it is too far removed from the tactical and operational areas that I am focused on for growth of my portfolio companies. The only exception I can think of is a professor who engineered SPACs before they were all the rage and he was a very valuable person who would have sat on my Board if we were to go through with the SPAC in 2020.
