Student Committees:



Innovation Fund Committee

The student members of the Innovation Fund Committee act as stewards of this in-house, mini-venture capital fund. The Committee hears student project pitches on a rolling basis and awards grants of up to $1,000 to student innovators. This Committee works closely with the Mentoring Committee in facilitating the integration of accepted projects into the Weiss Tech House. Involvement with this committee requires up to four hour consecutive blocks of time throughout the semester to hear student pitches. The Committee is seeking highly responsible individuals who can make a commitment to this process. For more information contact if@weisstechhouse.com or visit the Innovation fund page.
