The Lang Center is excited to announce the newest Summer Startup Track (SST) grant awardees, following a competitive pitch process.
SST fosters a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship for rising second-year Columbia Business School students who are dedicated to advancing their ventures over the summer. The program provides tailored advisory, a network of peers, talks with industry leaders, and as well as the opportunity to pitch for $2.5k to $10k grants. To compete for the grant awards, student founders presented their startups and the progress they made over the summer to a panel of alumni judges.
Congratulations to this year's grant recipients!
