We believe young and aspiring entrepreneurs have valuable perspectives that drive impact within the startup landscape.
Venture prepares our members to be the change makers of tomorrow through challenging client work, a comprehensive development curriculum, and a diverse community of ambitious individuals.
Core Values
Entrepreneurial Spirit
To us, being entrepreneurial means possessing a passion for future change, ideating creative solutions to address those needs, and having initiative to to act on that. We recognize that entrepreneurship is a privilege – this value does not require you to have started a business.
Going the Extra Mile
Venture is a place that pushes beyond mediocre, adequate, or acceptable. We strive for excellence through hard work and perseverance. Venture members are willing to go out of their comfort zone as we continuously aim for higher heights.
Interesting & Interested
Inquiry fuels us. We dare to ask “why” when everyone thinks it’s obvious. We dig past the obvious to find the extraordinary. More importantly, we all own our uniqueness and together form into a diverse body: in thought, background, and belief.
Community Oriented
We believe strongly in paying it forward. Our members guide each other forward by sharing experiences, teaching techniques, and providing meaningful mentorship. Venture members seek to serve their unique communities both on and off-campus through our shared service events.
Unapologetically Ourselves
We are loud, excited, and zealous when having fun. We break the ice and connect on a deeper level. We strongly value diversity for the creative and unique ideas it creates. We inspire each other; we empower each other; we laugh with each other; and most important of all, we build relationships to last a lifetime.
Alumni Network
Venture alumni extends to a diverse range of careers and industries, from large technology companies, investment banks to small startups and boutique consulting firms. Many went on to create startups of their own, using the knowledge and experience that they acquired in Venture.
Our alumni remain active in the organization, frequently returning as mentors and advisors, as well as leading training sessions and professional workshops. Our growing alumni network provides consultants with access to various resources including recommendations for internships.
