Venture Initiation Program Peer Advisors is a student-led group that is the center for consulting start-ups at Penn. Coming from Weiss Tech House, we've spent our decades of existence backing founders as they build world-defining companies like Twine, Harper Wilde, Dagne Dover, Warby Parker, and Allbirds. VIPPA is the core center of student engagement with Penn Venture Lab. We encourage and support students in the creation, development and commercialization of innovative technologies.
