Thank you to everyone who attended and supported VentureLab’s second annual Ready, Set, Startup! Gala. We’re thrilled to announce that, together, we raised $160,000 to support VentureLab programming! The event was an unforgettable evening filled with delicious food and drinks, exciting live and silent auctions, and a fun pitch event. The energy in the room was palpable as we gathered to celebrate and empower the next generation of diverse innovators and changemakers.

We hope you enjoyed the event as much as we enjoyed having you. Your generosity will go a long way in providing entrepreneurial education to all youth, creating a brighter future for innovation and impact.

We’re so grateful to have your support! None of this would be possible without the dedication and passion of our donors, sponsors, advocates and community members.
