CTBN Forum Event

Runway Startups: Insights from Tech Startups
A Cornell Tech Perspective

 

Celebrating ten years and having developed over 100 companies, created 500 jobs and amassed a valuation of more than $660M, the Startup Runway at Cornell Tech will share select insights and experiences from its innovative program. 

Unlike a typical launchpad-type accelerator program, Cornell Tech’s Runway program addresses the unique challenges, risks and time frames of transforming deep technologies into commercial success. Effectively, Runway ushers recent PhDs in digital technology fields through a paradigm shift — from an academic mindset to an entrepreneurial outlook.

 

Carley Hart, Director of Partnerships at Cornell Tech and NSF I-Corps Instructor plus David Levine, Kendra Batchelder and Ali Khaloo will join us at the CTBN Forum to discuss their perspectives on this unique program.  The Runway Startup Postdoc Program is part business school, part research institution, and part startup incubator based at the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute, at Cornell Tech.
