FinTech Club at Virginia Tech

Our mission is to cultivate a driven FinTech community.

Founded in 2021, the FinTech Club at Virginia Tech strives to be a leading organization on campus. We host professional development workshops, speaker events, and social events for our members.

Why Join

  • Figure out your path. Finance, data, product, and engineering are massive fields. We help you explore what these roles actually look like day-to-day, so you know what you want to pursue before recruiting kicks into high gear.

  • Get hands-on experience. Instead of just talking about fintech, we build things. Join a research pod, work on an actual project with a small team, and present it at our end-of-semester showcase.

  • Connect with the street. We bring the industry to you, and you to the industry. Between our annual Hokies on Wall Street trip to NYC, fireside chats with professionals, and a tight alumni network, you’ll get to know the people who do the jobs you want.

  • Learn the unwritten rules. Classes teach you theory; we teach you how to get hired. We run workshops on the exact resume tweaks, networking strategies, and technical tools you need to land an offer.

  • Find your people. We’re more than just a resume builder. Whether you’re an engineering major or studying finance, you’ll find a real community here through poker nights, dinners, and regular socials.

What We Do

  • We offer professional development workshops for VT students that are recruiting across the FinTech spectrum. This includes resume, networking, and interview preparation.

  • Across each semester, the FinTech club hosts fireside chats with professionals across the FinTech industry.

  • FinTech club members also build their technical skillsets through our pods, which are specialized groups of 4-6 students who have a deep interest in a specific subject.

  • We travel to New York and/or Charlotte every year to visit FinTech alumni at various firms. We also host a variety of social events across the year, including game nights, competitions, and dinners.
