Raghav Sanagavarapu

I love ideas, innovation and impact. More than anything I want to fuel that spirit at UCL and do my best to create an environment of entrepreneurship and enterprise. In the past, I have had experience working in VC firms and I learnt to have an eye for startups and ideas and moreover understand ways in which they can excel in what they do. I want to bring that knowledge and experience to the Venture Fund and be a part of the change that can take place right here in UCL. I want founders at UCL to know they have a chance at funding but moreover have constant guidance and support from the UCLe community. I hope to ensure every founder, anyone with an idea, has a shot to do something big. I have many goals and aspirations for this fund but mainly I want to focus on startups that are doing good and creating change in areas of climate-change, social inequality, knowledge disparity and so many of the areas that we need help in. Although this might seem small in the grand scheme of things, I feel it’s never too early for support and guidance and who knows what can be achieved with a little push. I’m extremely excited for what’s to come and what we can do. I’m Raghav, a 2nd-year Electrical Engineering student and would love to be the Director of the Venture Capital Fund this year.
