Venture Capital & Startups 6: Princeton Innovation/Entrepreneurship campus partner event

Session Description: Cornelia Huellstrunk, Executive Director of Keller Center from Princeton’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship ecosystem will present on a topic relevant to the cohort. This will provide students with the opportunity to learn more about the myriad programs, resources, and mentors available as they explore their interests in entrepreneurship.

Cohort Description: A growing number of startups are emerging from universities and research institutes — young enterprises that are accelerating innovation and changing the game in social entrepreneurship and in every field imaginable. Increasingly, graduate students are the founders behind these new businesses. At Princeton, there is a robust innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem that connects graduate students, postdocs, alumni, faculty, venture capitalists, and industry.  During the course of 8 weeks, this program serves as a “crash course” for understanding the world of VC funding and startups. You will learn about the lingo, the economics, the process, and the landscape—and meet members of the broader innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem. You will also hear first-hand from graduate alumni founders about their entrepreneurial journeys -- and all of the challenges and successes they had along the way. The cohort culminates with a group project where graduate students will work across disciplines to synthesize and apply their learnings.
