The Eugene M. Lang Entrepreneurial Initiative Fund is pleased to announce seed capital investments totaling $225,000 in four student ventures. Established in 1996 with a $1 million gift from Eugene M. Lang, MS '40, the Fund provides early-stage investment to qualified Columbia Business School student business initiatives.
The investments were chosen from venture proposals submitted by students and presented at the Lang Fund Selection event in the spring. A select group comprised of alumni entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, faculty, and administrators evaluated each of the ventures, providing feedback and recommendations to the Lang Fund Investment Board for final consideration.
