<span style="line-height: 24px;">[[File:StartupVCU.jpg|thumb|right|300px|StartupVCU.jpgStartUP VCU]]StartUp VCU is the club for entrepreneurially minded students at the university. Made up of thinkers, dreamers, and makers from all academic disciplines and walks of life, the club is a network of students interested in bringing innovative business opportunities to life! At Startup VCU, officers and members foster creativity and encourage taking chances, while alumni advisers are on deck to connect and consult with project teams. The founders of Startup VCU understood that the process of starting a business is never easy, which is exactly why they created a fail safe environment to test ideas and vet new concepts. From the undergraduate level through (and beyond) graduation, Startup VCU members are prepped for and grounded in the ever-changing world of entrepreneurship and innovation.</span>

<span style="line-height: 24px;">[[File:Artup.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Artup.jpgArtUp]]Our goal is to unite students from all departments within VCUarts that are interested in translating their skills and passions into creative entrepreneurship. Through collaboration on small and university-wide projects, ArtUp plans to bring artists together in giving back to the Richmond community while establishing a networking foundation profitable for their careers and learning to better sustain their own work. This will be done through industry specific field trips, guest speakers or hosting workshops alongside a specific collaborative project that the group chooses to work on. ArtUp will focus on taking change as an opportunity for innovation in order to aid students in preparing for a successful future in the arts.</span>
