No, we welcome (and encourage) your involvement.
We're looking to recruit for a range of talent and want to hear from the voices of students from different backgrounds and fields. Whether you're studying arts, engineering, science, or just about anything else, we welcome your involvement.
No, we don't invest; at least not yet.
Analyzing potential startup investment opportunities is a key component of the work we do, but we do not operate or manage our own venture fund. Our focus is to teach our members the fundamental skills needed for careers in venture capital and any adjacent career in finance, tech, or design during their time on the Venture Team. Upon joining the Post-Mentorship Team, however, members will have the unique opportunity to source and pitch investment opportunities for our VC partners, many of which can become executed investments down the line.
Directly no; indirectly, sort of.
Our meetings and programs are centered around discovering and analyzing existing startups, and not on how they're built. However, if you're an aspiring entrepreneur, you might find some of our resources such as connections to founders & VC and learning to think from the POV of an investor useful.

Venture Capital is the investment money that helps startups grow, and to be able to make good judgments, we need to learn how to think critically about the components that make up the company. Tech plays a large role in developing the cool ideas into actual products, which is why it matters so much to us. Design has also grown in importance to our curriculum.

A 15-30 minute conversation to "network".
