About Our Club
Our mission is to inspire and encourage UW CSE PhD students to explore startups as an exciting and rewarding career path. We host events, workshops, and networking opportunities to help students learn about startups and build their own ventures. Each month, we organize a gathering on the second Tuesday, featuring invited guests from our VC partners and local Seattle entrepreneurs. Twice a year, we host a major event with a guest speaker panel.
