START-UP NIGHT

Presented by Wharton Entrepreneurial Programs with VC firms including:

Wharton Entrepreneurial Programs, in partnership with leading venture capital firms, invited students to experience Start-Up Night, an alternative to traditional campus recruiting. At Start-Up Night on March 15th, a panel of VC partners provided rare insight into the types of positions available at their portfolio companies.

Handouts from each of the firms are available:

• TL Ventures
• WI Harper
• Foundation Capital
• PA Early Stage

Students had an opportunity to submit statements of intent and resumes for a Resume Book. This Resume Book will be sent to Start-Up Night firms, as well as companies that contact Wharton Entrepreneurial Programs with an interest in hiring students.

Start-Up Night was designed to provide entrepreneurial-minded Wharton students—both undergrads and MBAs—a better understanding of job descriptions and career possibilities at early stage companies. In addition, Start-Up Night complements WEP’s Entrepreneurial Intern Fellowship, in which selected students who have secured internships at early stage companies receive cash awards.
