“As an engineering student, the Baylor Angel Network provided a unique opportunity to step outside the technical realm and critically assess business models, interpret investor viewpoints, and develop compelling, data-driven recommendations. That growth, paired with mentorship from members, was foundational to my transition into consulting.”

“Joining the Baylor Angel Network as a pre-medical student was an amazing opportunity, enabling me to apply my STEM background outside of the classroom and instead to the evaluation of the start-up environment. Additionally, the mentoring I received from BAN members was influential in how I now view my future in medicine, as I was exposed to pathways beyond the traditional one. BAN was a phenomenal experience that greatly benefited my undergraduate education.”

“My time as an analyst with the Baylor Angel Network was easily the most impactful part of my Baylor experience. BAN offers a two-fold benefit to its analysts: hands-on experience and meaningful mentorship. Through my work as an analyst, I developed strong critical thinking skills, attention to detail, and the ability to evaluate a company from the ground-up. Skills that have set me miles ahead of my peers in my internship program. Additionally, I have been deeply impacted by the unique mentorship opportunities provided through BAN. Whether it’s the program directors, angel investors, or senior analysts, the structure of the Baylor Angel Network is designed to help launch students into a successful career and build a professional network. BAN has been instrumental in my success in investment banking and career.”
