Start Here. Keep Moving. Venture Lab at Penn Selects VAULT for Its Next Cohort.
Penn Venture Lab at the University of Pennsylvania has selected VAULT to support its upcoming entrepreneurship cohort. At the University of Pennsylvania, Venture Lab is the physical “start here” button for student innovation. Based in Tangen Hall, the largest student entrepreneurship hub in the world, it’s a mission-driven ecosystem that democratizes entrepreneurship across Wharton, Penn Engineering, and the Weitzman School of Design.
But starting isn’t the hard part. Staying in motion through ambiguity is.
I’m thrilled to share that UPenn Venture Lab has selected VAULT to serve as a specialized digital support layer for its upcoming entrepreneurship cohorts. Through this pilot, we’re equipping Penn’s interdisciplinary founders and searchers with on-demand tools designed to build pattern recognition before their decisions get expensive.
What VAULT adds to the Venture Lab toolkit:
- ZioBot AI Assistant: A surgical discovery engine that helps students find the right insight, right now, across 3,000+ expert sessions.
- The 7-Step Roadmap: A structured path that moves students from exploration into disciplined execution.
- Lived Experience at Scale: Thousands of searchable stories from world-class operators and investors, helping students distinguish signal from noise.
Information is everywhere. Entrepreneurial confidence is not. It’s built by having the right resource at the right moment, and VAULT’s repository is designed to move students from learning mode into doing mode, whether they’re building a startup or buying and building a business.
Expanding the Access Lane: 2026
We’re actively looking to partner with universities and nonprofits committed to preparing the next generation of business owners. If you’re a program director or educator focused on entrepreneurship, especially in the Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (EtA) space, I’d welcome the conversation.
Welcome to VAULT, Venture Lab! We’re looking forward to working with your entrepreneurs.
