"Having a chance to connect with and support fellow Bulldog entrepreneurs through the 1785 Venture Club is an exciting opportunity. I'm passionate about both my alma mater and entrepreneurship, and the ability to combine those elements in ways that drives meaningful business outcomes, not only for PrizePicks, but also for the next generation of student and alumni entrepreneurs is something all Bulldogs should support.

The fact this Club provides a new, significant stream of funding to the Entrepreneurship program in Athens is the cherry on top. I wish I'd have been able to leverage this community earlier in my career when I was raising capital and building my ventures."
