Venture Capital
Venture Capital
The VC team is a community of students, founders, and VCs focused on high-impact, scalable ideas in the world of venture.
We’re driven by ideas that solve the fundamental challenges of our era and build the backbone of a longer tomorrow — think neurotechnology, cellular agriculture, edtech, sustainable development, and precision medicine.
Our three quarter long program introduces members to VC as a lever of social change (Fall), teaches sourcing and due-diligence (Winter), and places members in a partnered VC firm for a Spring internship. We believe what we do should be worth your time.

Daniel Fein
VC Co Lead
I'm a junior originally from Miami majoring in Computer Science. I to keep up with AI and the direction of technology in general. I also enjoy writing online, thinking of new products, and generally laying in the sun around campus. Initially, I joined SENSA because I felt immediately called to become a part of the VC team. I believe that many of the most important innovations in recent history were carried through to society via venture capital, and I think it's exciting to learn how to be a part of this change myself by plugging in to this network. My favorite thing about the VC team is the strong sub-culture of openness to bold, new ideas.
