Shehzad Daredia - M&T Class of 2006 "I am currently doing online marketing and product management for Kayak.com, the leading online travel search engine startup. Through my involvement in the Innovation Fund at the Weiss Tech House, I was exposed to innovative technologies and enterprising people that cultivated in me a passion for entrepreneurship." Allison Floam - Wharton 2005 "The Weiss Tech House was highly instrumental in launching my business, SunSak LLC. Through the WTH, I was paired with mentors in a variety of fields and given the resources to take my product, the SunSak, to market. The SunSak debuted on the QVC shopping network in 2006 and continues to sell via the Internet and direct channels. I am currently at Harvard Business School (MBA Class of 2009) where I am in the process of starting a new business in the tech-media space. The WTH helped shape the way I think about entrepreneurship; I have always been passionate about the field, but after working with Anne and the WTH, I am now more confident in my ability to execute on my ideas. " Jake Stein Jake Stein is COO and cofounder of RJMetrics, which develops software to help online businesses measure, manage, and monetize better.

Read more about them at www.rjmetrics.com. Jake's time in the Innovation Fund taught him valuable lessons about both technology and entrepreneurship that served him well at his last job at a private equity and venture capital firm, and his current one at RJMetrics. Jonathan M. Doloff "Currently, I am working as an Intellectual Property ("IP") attorney in Woodbridge, NJ. My firm works on all areas of IP, such as patent prosecution and litigation, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and licensing. Although having experience in all the aforementioned areas, I primarly work on patent prosecution. As a previous member of the Innovation Fund Committee, I enjoyed working with inventors to help them foster and reduce their dreams to practice. In allowing me to work with inventors while being involved in Venture Capital business and innovation areas of the inventors' projects, the WTH has helped me by allowing me to "test" and confirm my goals for my future career, i.e., working with IP, while I worked with great people along the way."
