Matthew
Minnick
Business student concentrating in entrepreneurship, with a minor in mathematics. I've raised over $350,000 to build schools abroad, run my own businesses, and I care about turning ideas into impact.
I like problems where business and community meet.
I grew up in Stamford, Connecticut, where I led my high school's buildOn chapter for three years. We raised $350,000+ from local businesses, and in 2026 I traveled to Senegal to help build a school alongside the community.
Along the way I've started a resale business, founded a free tutoring program, interned across marketing and product at Gorilla Commerce, and pushed for a new public library on Stamford's East Side.
Now at Fordham's Gabelli School of Business, I'm president of the Loyola-Faber Hall Board and studying entrepreneurship, so I can keep building things that matter.
