"AoA receives hundreds of business plans from hopeful entrepreneurs each year, but only a fraction progress through the screening process to receive one-on-one attention from us," notes program manager and 2004-05 Preston Gates & Ellis Fellow Aaron Coe.

In this issue of TechKnowledgy, the AoA is pleased to introduce Aaron Coe, the full-time Preston Gates & Ellis fellow for 2004-2005 and Edward Hansen, the part-time Alliance of Angels Fellow for 2004-2005.

Aaron earned his MBA from the University of Washington in June of this year and has had a number of successes in business plan competitions, most notably capturing 1st place in the UW CTE Business Plan Competition and finishing 3rd in the national Purdue Life Sciences Business Plan Competition. Aaron is a co-founder of Promentix, Inc., an early-stage biotechnology company established this year to develop therapies for protein aggregation diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. In the summer of 2003, Aaron was an international marketing intern at local game-maker Cranium, Inc. Prior to his internship, Aaron co-authored an award winning business plan for NanoString Technologies, Inc., a biotech startup spun out of the Institute for Systems Biology. He was previously a network engineer at America Online, Inc. and PersonaLogic, Inc., the latter having been acquired by AOL in 1998.

"The opportunity to serve this organization is quite remarkable," said Aaron. "Sitting down with early stage companies, screening for good deals to bring in front of the investors, and coaching entrepreneurs is very gratifying. Companies come to us in varying stages of preparedness, trying to solve a myriad of different problems that the market may or may not perceive. Sifting through the articles of faith of these entrepreneurs to test and prod their assumptions gives me the opportunity to test my own assumptions about what makes a strong company."

Aaron served as president of the Global Business Association and was a member of the Entrepreneur and Innovation Club and the Biotech Club at the university. Prior to beginning his MBA, Aaron earned a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics and Spanish at the University of California at Santa Barbara. He speaks three foreign languages: Spanish, Catalan and Portuguese.
