UT Austin's hub for venture capital learning and startup building.

We're a group of UT Austin students building a better entrepreneurial ecosystem. We're curious builders, investors, and strategists supporting students in joining, building, and investing in early to late-stage ventures.

About

We are UT's backbone of entrepreneurship supporting students looking to learn how to invest, build, and join startups. We exist because there is a gap on campus. Adjacent tech organizations are not venture specific and finance orgs do not focus on venture.
