Where cybersecurity-interested students of all skill levels can learn, connect, and collaborate 

When you’re building something, whether a passion project, startup, or something else, you often find yourself running in your own lane — and when you’re running alone, it can be hard to stay motivated or keep up the pace.

But when you run in a team, even if everyone else is in their own lane, you’ll never fall behind. In rev, everyone’s working on their own projects, but our members exchange knowledge and experience through coworking, demo events, off-campus trips, speaker events, and more. Most important, rev enables its members to reach their targets. Rev builders have been Husky Startup Challenge winners, made deals on Shark Tank, taken venture co-ops with the Sherman Center, and more.

Rev was a huge help for me as an early-stage founder while I was preparing to compete in Husky Startup Challenge in my first semester of college. I ended up winning second place and another award, in addition to several other awards at other events, thanks to mentorship from rev. Now, while still a freshman, I’ve become rev’s director of partnerships and have board positions in other organizations, as well
