“Where business meets innovation. Where ideas turn into impact”.
Foster Tech Club is the beating heart of the tech community at the Foster School of Business. We are not just another student organization—we are a launchpad for builders, thinkers, and doers who are shaping the future of tech and business in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
As the most active and widely participated student-led club at Foster, we bring together MBAs from all backgrounds—engineers-turned-strategists, consultants-turned-product managers, marketers-turned-analysts—united by a shared curiosity for how technology transforms the world.
Our mission is simple:
Empower Foster MBAs to explore, enter, and lead in the tech industry.
We do this by:
Connecting students with real-world challenges and real industry leaders through treks, case competitions, and innovation sprints.
Curating hands-on experiences, from building product roadmaps to reverse-engineering business models of big tech and startups alike.
Creating a vibrant, inclusive space for peer mentorship, collaboration, and community that extends far beyond graduation.
We work closely with alumni, local startups, Big Tech partners, and the greater UW ecosystem to offer our members tech-driven opportunities that are not just career-enabling—but career-defining.
If you're looking for a community that thinks big, moves fast, and supports each other while breaking into one of the most competitive industries—this is it.
Welcome to Foster Tech Club.
