Through Rice's venture capital course, I got to delve deep into how investors think and evaluate early-stage technology. That experience has been invaluable as I fundraise now.

Rice's courses in entrepreneurship really helped me find my monetization strategy as a social entrepreneur. Having conversations, getting feedback from amazing professors, the support from the Rice community — it really kept me motivated.
