LPV provides a unique opportunity to invest in early stage companies with flexibility on directing the investment. Along the way, members are afforded the opportunity to be part of an organization that truly lives by the motto Ut Prosim, Hokies helping Hokies.
Lunch Pail Ventures has provided me with invaluable exposure to a wide range of startup companies across various industries. As a recent graduate with a strong interest in investing, this experience has offered me incredible insights and education into the entrepreneurial world.
Lunch Pail Ventures events provide the unique opportunity to connect with Hokies at all stages of their careers that you likely wouldn't meet otherwise! I leave every event feeling incredibly inspired and would encourage everyone in Hokie Nation to attend!
