To Whom this May Concern,
As per Elana's suggestion, I wanted to share with you an exciting
opportunity for UWaterloo students.
My name is Emily Luk and I'm currently a student at the University of
Toronto and the Toronto Director of the Founder Project.
I'm reaching out to you now because I have an exciting opportunity for
VeloCity students. We are currently hiring student VC's to join our team.
The Founder Project is a student run VC fund investing and empowering
student entrepreneurs and recently had a successful launch in Toronto.
Both the National Post and TechVibes covered our launch to Toronto and
we're rapidly gaining traction. After our Montreal competition (which led
to the creation of 160 startups) one of our top startups was featured in
the National Post (article below) and is currently in negotiations for
$500k in seed funding. They are just one of numerous startups in
negotiations for over $400k in funding each, all of which were found
through our competition.
We were hoping that you would aid us in extending this opportunity to your
students through notifying students on your mailing list. Would this be
possible? The email we are hoping to have sent is below.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Emily Luk
Toronto Director
Founder Project

The email would be as follows:
Do you want to join a team of passionate individuals who want to fuel
Canadian entrepreneurship?
Are you interested in the world of *startups*?
Do you have* entrepreneurial experience*, or are you an aspiring
entrepreneur?
Are you a *designer *or a *developer*?
Do you know what it means to *hustle*?
*We’re out to change student entrepreneurship on a global scale.*
Our mission is to establish a vibrant student startup ecosystem amongst the
student body.
The Founder Project is a student run VC fund investing and empowering
student entrepreneurs. After our Montreal competition, numerous of our
startups in negotiations for over $400k in funding each, all of which were
found through our competition.
*We are at the heart of the Canadian entrepreneurship ecosystem*.
Over the last eight months we’ve contributed to the creation of over 160
student companies. A handful of those companies have received venture
financing from major Canadian venture capital firms, and we’ve seen
students take positions at high-growth startups.
Things are heating up here at TheFounderProject and we are taking things to
the next level.
If you would like to join us, we are currently hiring.
