An invitation-only community of industry leaders, founders, and innovation practitioners who engage directly with the UW Tech Exploration Lab.
The Circle is a hands-on way to participate in the Lab itself, mentoring student teams, surfacing real-world challenges, attending events and helping turn emerging technologies into tangible outcomes.
Members choose their level of involvement. You might drop in occasionally to offer perspective, or engage more deeply around a specific challenge, project, or cohort.

Early visibility into Lab programs, challenges, and venture activity
-
Flexible opportunities to advise, mentor, and collaborate in time-bounded ways
-
Direct connection to student teams exploring applied AI and other emerging technologies
-
A trusted network grounded in building and what works
Participation is designed to be practical, flexible, and impact-driven.
