“I joined E-Club because I wanted to get more involved with entrepreneurship and connect with like-minded people. The variety of teams really adds to the experience, creating so many chances for collaboration. I’ve enjoyed meeting passionate individuals and forming connections while learning from one another. Being part of E-Club has given me a broader view of entrepreneurship and what it can offer!”
I'm Era, majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering and I come from Prishtina, Kosovo.
I'm interested in the field of biomedical engineering and the intersection it has with entrepreneurship. On campus I'm involved with SWE, Business Today, and I'm a Davis IC Leader, I also go ice skating or hiking in my free time!

“I initially joined e-club when a friend of mine recommended, but I quickly grew to love the community built here. Each and every individual is so passionate, driven, yet encouraging, and it truly creates a group of people that I know will go on to do great things in the future. Whether it be in finance, healthcare, policy, or beyond.”
Hi! I'm Humnah, a sophomore in ORFE and Co-Director at PWE! I'm super passionate about building strong, supportive communities that empower one another to pursue careers in entrepreneurship and beyond. On campus, I'm involved in a few finance and policy orgs, alongside being an alum of the E-club Crypto Tigertrek. I love learning new languages, sudoku puzzles, and horse-back riding.

what we do
We invite female entrepreneurs to campus to learn from and discuss their experiences and current ventures. We are committed to creating an open and accepting community of entrepreneurially motivated women on campus by hosting monthly dinners and meetings, as well as facilitating our mentorship program. In past years, we’ve additionally organized trips to NYC to meet up with female founders/industry leaders!
