Summary

Van Wickle Ventures will benefit from someone with a strong background in startups and entrepreneurship. I specialized in helping students take their passions and transforming them into their own entrepreneurial ventures. Now that I'm seeking to join the investor side, I have an understanding of what ideas solve a problem, well researched, and effectively presented.
