Team Projects

Our team projects give members the opportunity to work directly with early-stage founders over the course of a quarter. Teams of four to six take ownership of defined strategic workstreams, produce formal deliverables, and learn what it means to be useful to a company in real time. For some members, those relationships have continued beyond the project into formal internships.

Past Projects

Spring 2026

Preparing Undun's Fundraise

A GIVC project team worked with Undun as the company prepared for fundraising conversations, helping refine its investor narrative, articulate the innovation behind the product, strengthen pitch materials, and build supporting research for investors.

"Working with Girls Into VC at UCLA was an incredible experience. Over the course of nearly three months, their team took the time to really understand undun, our fundraising goals, and the investor landscape we were navigating. They developed an exceptionally thoughtful and comprehensive list of potential funds for us to target, along with a clear strategy for how to approach and pitch investors. The depth of the work, research, and thinking they put into the project far exceeded our expectations." — Laura Tempesta, Undun

Spring 2026

Fueling Hydra Hydration's Raise

A GIVC team supported Hydra Hydration's fundraising efforts across angels and family offices, working directly with the founder on investor research, outreach tracking, pitch and data-room materials, meeting coordination, and fundraising momentum.

"Working with Girls Into VC was such a great experience. The team was incredibly thoughtful, proactive, and genuinely excited to support Hydra and our growth. I was especially impressed by how quickly they were able to understand the business and bring fresh ideas and perspective to the table. I loved working with Pari and the team and would absolutely recommend the program to other founders." — CC Salzman, Hydra Hydration
