Founder's STORY

RISK (Research and Innovation for Student Knowledge) started as a simple idea to host a pitch competition at The Haverford School. As time went on, I connected with an increasing number of business leaders willing to provide me with advice and the opportunity to learn from their experiences. Realizing the enormous opportunity provided to me, I realized that if I recorded my mentor discussions, I could share these recordings and provide my peers with the same opportunity I had to learn from great business leaders. These recordings are what initiated the RISK podcasts.

Depending on the podcast you listen to, you will learn various business soft skills to the intricacies of being a venture capitalist or entrepreneur. I hope that through this program, future business leaders will increase their knowledge to catapult their education. I want to provide a conduit from my mentor's voices to your ears.

I built the RISK learning and networking platform for students to learn throughout the process and establish lasting relationships they will leverage in their future.

Please join me on my journey to network, publish content, and compete like an entrepreneur.

Entrepreneurs take RISK.
