At the Founders’ Club we aim to bring together people who share the goal of launching a startup. Our members have diverse backgrounds (e.g., engineers, lawyers, product developers, medical students) and include students at both the undergrad and grad level from several schools at Penn and Drexel, as well as alumni and Philly locals. We hold weekly, specially focused meetings to address key topics for founders. Our goal every semester is to cover the areas that most student founders contend with: raising money, hiring, product validation, accounting, operating agreements, etc. We also help organize the Founders Retreat for MBA students at the beginning of the school year. This year I (W ’15), Zach Simkin (WG ’15) and Carlos Vega (WG ’15) co-preside over the Founders’ Club.
