Updates for this Week: 10.24.24 🗓️

Many of you know that Partner Track has been looking for Venture Partners & EIRs to bring additional value to the network. We will be announcing a few of these individuals, their expertise, and the projects that we will be collaborating with us on over the next few weeks. Stay tuned….

Partner Track’s Student Ambassador Program is picking up steam and will kick off with an intro call next Friday. We are happy to say that MIT’s VC/PE club has joined the program and that we will be closing additional partnerships soon. Thank you to the network members who have volunteered to speak to this year’s cohort of students (we welcome anyone else who would be interested in speaking as well). Also, while we currently have 100+ students from three Ivy’s on board, we’d love to see a few more universities participate. So, if anyone is still connected with their alma mater and their VC/PE clubs, please reach out to Jonathan@PartnerTrackVC with any referrals/intros.
If you have any friends or mentors in the VC community that you think would be a good fit, please consider inviting them to apply.

As always, thank you for being a part of Partner Track. We hope that you enjoy The Deal Room.
