SELL Your Impact Description

Who are We?

The Social Entrepreneurship Learning Lab (SELL) Fellowship is an intensive 8-week fellowship program for undergraduate students who want to build social impact-focused enterprises and make real change in their communities. The fellowship aims to help students develop innovative solutions to unmet social needs from their communities by applying concepts of social impact, design thinking, & entrepreneurship to research social issues that they are passionate about. Students are given an opportunity to share their research and ideas with the broader UT and external entrepreneurial and impact community at the end of the fellowship.

What We are Raising Funds for?

Sell Your Impact (SYI) is the culmination of our fellows' work where they get to pitch their innovative ventures to industry and community leaders and compete for a cash prize to help further their ventures. Donations towards our organization directly go to our SYI prize winners and their ventures so they can win up to thousands of dollars of non-diluted seed funding to serve their venture's communities. 

What Impact Can Your Donation Make?

Your donation can make a transformative impact by providing essential non-diluted seed funding to emerging social entrepreneurs. By contributing to the Sell Your Impact (SYI) event, you are directly empowering innovative undergraduate students to further their ventures aimed at addressing unmet social needs within their communities. This financial support not only enables these passionate individuals to implement and scale their solutions but also encourages a culture of social entrepreneurship and innovation. As a result, your donation has the potential to catalyze significant social change, fostering a more equitable and sustainable world through the development of impactful enterprises.

Testimonials from Fellows

"I love how collaborative incubator is. It’s hard to start a venture on your own but being surrounded by other innovative minds has helped me come up with better ideas. Incubator has taught me how to bring my idea to life, stay organized, and make a true impact."

Meghana Singireddy

"Incubator is the best experience because of the supportive nature it cultivates! I feel so much more inclined to work on my venture when i’m in a supportive space where everyone is willing to help you and your venture. Plus, you get to spend time with your cohort and they soon become some of your best friends! There is never a dull moment in session and it makes the process so much more fun."

Ria Mehrota

"My favorite part of SELL is definitely the community. Not only are they an extremely supportive family I’ve found on campus, but they’ve also become a big motivation in my journey through social entrepreneurship. It provides a community of likeminded individuals who genuinely have passion for tacking social issues within our world. They constantly challenge and inspire me to strive beyond my limits, and have created some of my fondest memories."
