Alumni and industry connections are an integral part of the Tech Exploration Lab’s goal of fostering innovation through collaboration. Both students and alumni were able to learn so much from each other during our last semester program, which is why we are excited to start a new program at the lab: Executives and VCs in residence!
Piloting over the summer, 3 talented industry professionals will be hosting “office hour” style meetings with students to answer questions about entrepreneurship, product strategy, market fit, and many other burning questions that students had at the end of the semester. Our executives and VCs are:
- Singari Seshadri, (top left, executive), is an experienced entrepreneur, operator, and investor, who brings deep, real-world expertise to guide and challenge student teams.
- Christian Kaczmarczyk, (top right, VC), is an experienced early-stage investor with deep insight into startup funding, venture capital dynamics, and what it takes to build a fundable business.
- Pat Reetz, (bottom left, executive), has extensive experience in SaaS, product strategy, go-to-market execution, and startup growth, and is passionate about helping early-stage teams transform strong ideas into viable, scalable products.
If you are interested in meeting with and learning from these alumni, sign up to be added to our Teams and Outlook calendar to get a meeting with them: https://forms.gle/gArQyRSKpN4E39jq6.
