In my time as an undergraduate, I have discovered that Penn has an extremely active entrepreneurial ecosystem. Students and faculty members have a real passion for innovation, and programs like the Wharton Business Plan Competition, the Weiss Tech House and PennVention help to cultivate that spirit. Students and recent graduates have sold their businesses to large companies like Amazon, eBay and Google for tens, even hundreds, of millions of dollars.
