Wu and Chen Auditorium

IF (Innovation Fund) is a student-run, mini-venture capital fund that offers non-dilutive funding to student-founded Penn startups. IF provides current Penn founders?—?across all of the university’s undergraduate and graduate schools?—?with funding amounts ranging from $500-$2,000, depending on their specific needs, to develop their innovative ideas.

IF is inviting anyone who wants to join (and who may be remotely interested in technology and entrepreneurship) to their relaunch event on February 3rd at the Wu and Chen Auditorium. We hope to see you there!

IF has made some awesome changes this year, which are outlined further in the Medium post.

Interested? Like the Innovation Fund’s FB page, snag a free ticket for the event, and spread the word on campus to any friends who might be interested. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail IF at apply.innovationfund@gmail.com.

The Weiss Tech House Innovation Fund wants to thank all student founders for an awesome year of entrepreneurship on campus! Since we want to devote the proper amount of time and effort to every entrepreneur and team that applies, and since the semester is rapidly coming to a close, we will no longer be accepting new applications for funding in the 2016-2017 Academic Year. However, if you’re an entrepreneur on campus and were planning to apply, please still apply! We’d love to meet before the school year ends so we can pick up the conversation next semester.
