The University of Michigan is a big school. Currently, there are a lot of entrepreneurial resources that incredibly valuable, yet niche and selective. It's also difficult to connect and collaborate with other builders across campus.

V1 is the community for ambitious student builders at the University of Michigan. At our core, we support students who are working on side-projects and startups — those who are looking to build their V1: the first version of their product.

V1 offers an engaged online community for student builders to connect and collaborate. Not only do we share exclusive opportunities, but we also host weekly fireside chats with industry leaders and Michigan alum. Lastly, we offer a number of internal resources to help student builders navigate the Michigan entrepreneurial ecosystem.

In the past, we've had speakers like the founder of Morning Brew, the president of Y Combinator, employees at unicorn startups, and more.
