Testimonials
"Sigma Eta Pi (SEP) has greatly contributed to making me more confident in myself and my abilities. Before SEP, I believed that my startup, CLEARLY, would stay as an idea until I got older/had more money/finished school/etc… However, with the resources and support SEP gave me, my team was able to pitch it at our first Demo Day and win first place! They continue to push me to pursue larger opportunities, and I couldn’t be more grateful for such a solid support system. My favorite memory at SEP would definitely have to be the week before Demo Day. Things are ROUGH, but I guess that’s what makes it fun. The environment is very chaotic and stressful, but the feeling of relief and pride after accomplishing everything is unrivaled. If you have an idea that you want to make a reality, I would HIGHLY urge you to give SEP a chance to help you make that possible. There’s a lot of risks and uncertainties that come with entrepreneurship, but everyone here works hard to make sure that you will be supported along the way." - Alexia Rudh
