“I am so grateful to GradFUTURES for coordinating the Venture Capital and Startups cohort. It’s a great way to quickly learn the core tenets of the funding ecosystem for entrepreneurs, even if just to learn the jargon and dip our first feet into the lingo of financiers and venture capitalists.”

“My UAF is in the Keller Center for Innovation in Engineering Education... I am working on creating multi-media programs that address issues facing today's entrepreneurs. My time as a UAF is helping me become a better teammate and better understand the relationship between people and the organizations within which people operate.”
