HIRE

The Jerome Fisher Program in Management & Technology cultivates interdisciplinary thinkers, builders, problem-solvers and leaders. Our alumni understand the value of their dual degree education, and often welcome Program students for internships and employment in their own companies and companies they lead.

The M&T Intern Fellowship Award provides financial support to students who secure internships at early-stage ventures. We give priority to students who secure internships at ventures led by Program alumni.
Alumni may coordinate on-campus recruiting events or advertise job opportunities through our dedicated Program  staff. Ask us how we can help you connect with M&T students and alumni.

INVEST

Jerome Fisher Program alumni are often inspired to promote M&T student innovation with early-stage investments in brilliant ideas. Alumni investments help our students develop concepts and bring them to market—and investors typically find that participating in student projects can be a highly rewarding experience.

The M&T INNOVATION FUND is a Jerome Fisher Program student-run organization that seeks to provide value creation for University of Pennsylvania start-ups. Managed by M&T students from all class years, with guidance from faculty, Program administrators and alumni, the Fund acts as an incubator or accelerator that provides seed-stage cash grants for near-term venture development, along with non-equity grants for specific expenses. Complementing the initial capital funding, ventures selected for the Fund’s portfolio also receive valuable strategic support and mentorship from M&T alumni.

To learn more about how you can invest in M&T ventures, please EMAIL M&T or call 215.898.4145.
