Hi,

I founded a company along with another partner few years back. I am not holding any official position in this company as I am currently working in a non profit. I have worked in another company for two years before joining this non profit.

I have few queries regarding the recommendations..

1) Can I include this in my profile as entrepreneurial initiative? How do adcoms verify my role in the company?

2) I am taking 2 recommendations from my current employer and previous employer. I thought of including another co founders name as a recommender, but I can do it only for the colleges that allow supplementary recommendations. How can I make this entrepreneurial initiative more credible in my applications?

Please advice..

Thanks
