Every semester we take on a small number of founders and work alongside them. Here's what that's looked like so far.
Spring '26 — In Progress
AllPeople Marketplace
Founded by Bill Wollrab, founder of the Yard House and angel investor.
AllPeople is a sustainable goods marketplace where 5% of every purchase goes to a nonprofit or school of the buyer's choice — at no extra cost. Our team is running A/B tests, surveys, and direct outreach to bring in investors ahead of their WeFunder campaign this April. The outreach work alone would've cost them $5,000 through an agency.
Munch Industries
Launching Orble, an automated boba vending machine.
We're helping with the launch of Orble — writing newsletters, running outreach, building their social media presence, and our analysts have been in the kitchen helping with recipe development.
SphereUs
Backed by Antler VC and angel investors.
SphereUs is building in a competitive space. We're helping them map that landscape, research the market, and put together a go-to-market plan.
Mira Shoppe
Founded by Farheen Qadir, MIT and Wharton MBA grad with 20+ years in chemical engineering.
Mira Shoppe sells jewelry from artisan makers in the Middle East, with 25% of sales funding education for young girls in the region. We're working on growth and getting the marketplace in front of the right buyers.
Fall '25 — Completed
Sinful Donut Lab
A solopreneur building a healthier, allergen-free donut brand.
Our team was basically an extension of hers. We ran in-person marketing, helped with recipe development, and tested student interest in the product on campus.
CultivatED
An EdTech nonprofit building an AI-powered test-prep platform.
We connected them to Philadelphia schools, built a dataset of potential pilot partners, and ran outreach to get their first programs off the ground.
StackedHR
A VIP-X startup rethinking hiring through qualitative assessments.
This was our densest project. Deep market research on the hiretech industry, competitive mapping, and a full GTM strategy. Most of our analysts came in knowing nothing about HR tech and left being able to hold their own in any conversation about it.
We take on new founders every semester. Tell us what you're working on and we'll figure out if we can help.
