“To me, the MBA Startup Fellowship was the perfect opportunity to do something that I am truly passionate about. It has become a central part of my MBA experience, allowing me to learn things otherwise I would have not and meet amazing people who share the same values and enthusiasm.”

"Being an MBA Startup Fellow was the opportunity of a lifetime. To be given the resources and support needed to focus 100% on building a startup is a blessing and with the fellowship, I did all that I could to make the most of it. Everyone in the Venture Lab was incredibly generous with their time and helped provide the much-needed perspective to help steer Shanda in the right direction. And for their contribution I am thankful.”
