SUMMARY:APPLICATION DEADLINE: The XPRIZE Visioneers 2017 - United States Summit
DESCRIPTION:Who are the XPRIZE® Visioneers? \nXPRIZE is an innovation engine\, a facilitator of exponential change\, a catalyst for the benefit of humanity. Our incentivized prize competitions have launched the new space industry\, resulted in an exponential increase in efficiencies to clean up devastating oil spills\, and helped open up a new generation of super fuel-efficient vehicles. The XPRIZE Visioneers challenge invites YOU to see if you have what it takes to become a Visioneer\, and delve into the Grand Challenges that face our world. \nThe Visioneers of 2017 will form teams to tackle different Grand Challenges. Their objective? Help the world’s top innovators deliver some of the most “impossible” breakthroughs. It’s a tough job\, indeed\, but the rewards are enormous. Visioneers will be the driving force behind the next generation of prizes to help push humanity forward. And you were saying you wanted to do something meaningful? This is it. \nSigns You Might Be Visioneer Material \nYou’re compelled to make the world a better place. Duh.\nYou’re audacious — some might call you obsessed — with finding your path to making real impact.\nYou’re an information junkie: constantly consuming the latest news and technology to help bring about the breakthroughs our world needs.\nYou connect the dots: not satisfied with simply comprehending the problem\, you tend to see problems as unfilled opportunities. Always stumbling upon the subtle links between seemingly disparate subjects or situations\, you can’t resist dreaming up potential solutions. \nThe Challenge \nWe are seeking industry disruptors\, social advocates\, tinkerers\, innovators and empathetic leaders who are excited to get their hands dirty in a problem\, participate in deep research\, talk to experts and inventors\, and then talk to them again. You must be eager to debate\, learn\, analyze\, create\, and work closely with other team members. You understand how to set audacious goals and possess the vision of a breakthrough for a currently unsolved problem. \nImagine being partnered with a team and tools to lend your vision and skills to the art of designing an XPRIZE competition — that’s exactly what we’re doing for next class of Visioneers.

SUMMARY:Building Credible Financials for Early Stage Investors
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an evening with David Ehrenberg\, a long-time friend\, partner and mentor to Columbia University Entrepreneurship. He started Early Growth Financial Services to provide a service that didn’t exist when he was working at early stage companies – high-quality accounting and strategic financial consulting services on demand. \nDavid will conduct 90-minute interactive workshop\, which will lay out \n\nWhat angels are looking for in a set of credible financials\nWhat really impresses them\nWhat they DON’T want to see\n\nWhat You’ll Take Away:\nFounders of early-stage ventures are in love with their products\, and all too often\, they want to tell the whole\, long story. Early-stage investors are all to often jaded\, cynical and well\, just real busy. If they even give you 10 minutes\, it is likely that they’re distracted. How can founders make the most out of their pitch? How can you edit your the financial side of your story down to the most compelling bits?\nDavid has seen it all\, from both sides of the conversation. In this workshop\, he’ll help you understand what is most relevant to investors and what is superfluous. He’ll help you gain an understanding how to build credibility by telling a credible story through numbers.\nWhy It Matters: If you’re raising capital for the first time\, you’ll be a novice going up against a hardened veteran. Most founders can clearly articulate their value proposition\, but sometimes struggle when it comes to telling a concise and credible numbers story.\nAbout the Expert \n\nDavid Ehrenberg Founder\, Partner and Chief Executive Officer\,\nEarly Growth Financial Services \nDavid Ehrenberg founded Early Growth Financial Services (EGFS) in 2008 to address the lack of on-demand financial support available to startups. David’s passion for mentoring entrepreneurs\, and helping early-stage startups to thrive\, led him to create the integrated financial solution that EGFS provides\, from day-to-day accounting to strategic finance\, tax\, and valuation support.\nAs CEO\, David has overseen incredible growth at EGFS\, leading to its being ranked #5 in Silicon Valley Business Journals’ annual Fastest Growing Private Companies award for 2013. David’s articles and insights are frequently posted in such prestigious publications as Forbes\, Inc\, VentureBeat\, Huff Post Small Business\, Yahoo! Small Business Advisor\, Startup Nation\, and more. He is an active speaker and event leader who presents regularly to founders and others within the startup ecosystem. He also co-founded and moderated Pitch Flip LA 2013 in which investors from Silicon Valley presented to a broad sampling from the LA startup community. \nDavid has strategic and operational expertise in all areas of early-stage finance\, including strategic planning\, forecasting\, venture funding\, debt financing\, and M&A. Prior to founding EGFS\, David was the first CFO for Abound Logic\, playing an integral role in building out the company’s finance and administrative infrastructure. Before that\, David was a Controller for Microsoft\, in a division that focused on creating new products and business solutions. Earlier in his career\, David was a key member of the finance team at Extreme Networks and Voice Stream Wireless and VP of Finance for Radiant Research\, where he was responsible for selling the company in two transactions and ensuring a successful exit for investors and management.\nAbout Our Partners

SUMMARY:Spark Workshop: Hacking Community Solar
DESCRIPTION:The Democratization of Solar Energy\nFeaturing Donna Sanders ’17BUS\,  co-founder of Social Solar\,\nwith special guests Gary Skulnik\, Founding Partner of OurPower\, and Annie Su\, Senior Analyst of Ecogy Solar\nPollution that arises from the burning of fossil fuels has several environmental\, financial\, and health consequences. As a result\, international\, national\, and local laws are being enacted favoring renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. New York State\, specifically\, has enacted a Clean Energy Standard that mandates 50 percent of all energy come from renewable sources by 2030. \nSocial Solar\, founded by Columbia University alumni\, caters to NYC residents and businesses who are dissatisfied with being excluded from solar simply because they live in co-ops and condos\, or because their business rooftop is too small. Social Solar’s service is a new shared solution that provides consolidation of solar needs to form one solar community as an inclusive option for solar power\, utility savings\, and cleaner air. Join us to discuss: \n\nWhat are some of the financial and structural barriers prohibiting widespread community solar adoption in NYC?\nWhat are viable community solar solutions?\n\nFor more event information\, please click here. This workshop is supported by the Lang Center for Entrepreneurship\, Social Enterprise Club\, Green Business Club\, and Tamer Center for Social Enterprise at Columbia Business School; and the Columbia Organization of Rising Entrepreneurs (CORE) at Columbia University. \nAbout the Spark Workshop Series \nSpark Workshops provide social innovators with an opportunity to explore resources\, connections\, and potential solutions to help their social ventures. These workshops tap into the collective knowledge within Columbia University and the larger entrepreneurial and social impact community. \nThis workshop is open to all who are willing to bring their ideas\, experience\, and connections to help solve social and environmental challenges that these social innovators aim to address. \nIf you are unable to attend this event but would like more information on Spark\, please register for our mailing list. \nIf you would like to suggest a future Spark workshop\, please contact:\nsocialenterprise@gsb.columbia.edu

SUMMARY:Immigration and Entrepreneurship
DESCRIPTION:Third Thursday is a recurring open forum and networking and info session for the Columbia University entrepreneurship community. It provides students\, faculty\, staff\, and alumni the opportunity to hear ideas from across campus\, form teams\, and explore career options. You’ll hear from Columbia alumni and other experts on their experiences working in the field\, how they’ve applied their Columbia experience in their careers\, and more. \nThursday\, January 26 (technically Fourth Thursday instead of Third Thursday due to the late start of the semester) will feature Megan Kludt\, an attorney at Curran & Berger\, LLP\, a boutique law firm specializing in all areas of immigration\, including business\, achievement\, investment\, family\, and humanitarian bases for immgration status. \nMegan is very knowledgable on visa options for students after graduation\, and specializes in complex immigration cases in the areas of business\, academia\, scientific research\, and the arts. Additionally\, she was selected by the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) to provide emergency legal aid to children at the US/Mexico border and was honored as one of AILA New England’s Pro Bono Champions in 2016. \nMegan holds a BS in Foreign Service from Georgetown University\, a Master of International Relations from Boston University\, and a JD with an international concentration from Boston University School of Law. \nAt this month’s Third Thursday event\, Megan will discuss \n\nOptions and requirements for various visas\, such as: J1\, O-1B\, and H-1B\nVisa options and NYC/NYS immigration resources for foreign startup founders\nHow much of an impact a lawyer/representation has on a visa application\nHow to find out whether or not a startup is qualified to help employees file for work visas\nThe process of hiring and granting a visa for a non-USA citizen that just finished school in the USA\nThe STEM extension of the OPT for foreign entrepreneurs launching startups (non-employed by existing and EVerify companies)\nShareholding issues that may caused by the immigration status of foreign entrepreneurs in start-up companies\n\nThis should be a particularly interesting discussion given the close timing of the event to the inauguration of President Elect Donald Trump\, which will take place 6 days before the event. As Trump has promised to make many changes to the USA’s immigration policies\, we are all curious to hear Megan’s thoughts on how his policies may affect international students looking to work in the USA upon graduation. \nFood & Drink will be served! Catering will be provided by Eat Offbeat\, a CU startup that delivers authentic and home-style ethnic meals that are conceived\, prepared and delivered by refugees resettled in NYC. \nJoin us! \nHave an announcement or idea to pitch to the group? Contact Ivy Schultz (is2350@columbia.edu) in advance and come prepared to pitch it! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHARE WITH FRIENDS\n\n\n\n\nFacebook

SUMMARY:The Next Wave of Corporate Entrepreneurship with Steve Blank. What Comes After Innovation Theater?
DESCRIPTION:Join Columbia Business School Executive Education and\nColumbia Entrepreneurship for an evening with \nSteve Blank\nin conversation with \nProfessor Rita D. McGrath\, Columbia Business School and\nBrian Murray\, President and CEO\, HarperCollins Publishers\n\nThe Next Wave of Corporate Entrepreneurship\nWhat Comes After Innovation Theater?\nHosted by \nGoodwin Procter\, LLP\nOffices of Goodwin Procter\, New York Times Building\n620 8th Avenue\, 26th Floor \nCorporate entrepreneurship is a very hot topic these days.  Despite all the talk\, however\, actual innovation performance comes nowhere near to delivering on its promise.  We are perhaps five years into the latest flurry of excitement about the prospects for innovation-fueled growth.  Companies have traveled to Silicon Valley in droves\, sponsored innovation boot camps\, trained innovation ninjas\, and otherwise promised their stakeholders that innovation is front and center on their agendas. \nAnd yet. \nEvidence suggests much of this activity is just ‘Innovation Theater’.  Indeed\, how many corporations focus their cultures around an innovation playbook\, and train all staff in innovation practices. \nIn a recent McKinsey study\, fully 94% of executives surveyed reported that they were unhappy with their organization’s ability to innovate.  Similar research shows that corporations are spending a lot more of their profits on things like share buybacks and dividends than they are on innovation. \nWhat’s next for corporate innovation? \nColumbia University’s Senior Fellow for Entrepreneurship\, Steve Blank is a retired eight-time serial entrepreneur-turned-educator and author.  He has changed the way entrepreneurs around the world build their startups. His bestselling The Startup Owner’s Manual\, and his earlier seminal work\, The Four Steps to the Epiphany are both credited with launching the Lean Startup movement. His Lean LaunchPad class at Stanford\, Berkeley\, and Columbia has redefined how Universities approach entrepreneurship.  His Innovation Corps class for the National Science Foundation forever changed how the U.S. commercializes science. \nProfessor Rita Gunther McGrath is a globally recognized expert on strategy\, innovation\, and growth with an emphasis on corporate entrepreneurship. Her work and ideas help CEOs and senior executives chart a pathway to success in today’s rapidly changing and volatile environments. Ms. McGrath was named one of the Top 10 Most Influential Business Thinkers by Thinkers50 in 2015 and 2013. Thinkers50 presented Rita with the #1 award for Strategy\, the Distinguished Achievement Award (2013). She has also been inducted into the Strategic Management Society “Fellows” in recognition of her impact on the field. \nProfessor McGrath teaches Leading Strategic Growth and Change and will be launching Mastering Corporate Entrepreneurship\, an online\, seven-week executive education course in January.  Registration is currently open. \nBrian Murray is President and Chief Executive Officer of HarperCollins Publishers. Since being appointed CEO in 2008\, Murray has led the transformation of HarperCollins from a traditional print publishing company focused only on English language publishing\, to a dynamic print and digital publisher with broad expertise in foreign language publishing and more than $350M in digital revenues. Murray has led six acquisitions including Thomas Nelson and Harlequin. The acquisition of Harlequin in 2014 extended the company’s global platform and digital presence\, resulting in the ability to publish in more than 30 languages and publishing operations in a dozen new countries. The Thomas Nelson acquisition in 2012 allowed for the formation of the HarperCollins Christian Publishing division\, positioning HarperCollins as the leading publisher of Christian content in the world.

The university-wide collaboration made possible by this Columbia Entrepreneurship-Perkins Cole partnership is an exceptional opportunity for Columbia Law Students.”\n – Nathalie Russell ‛14CC\n\nHow it Works\nWe host regularly scheduled 30 minute sessions held both at the Columbia Startup Lab as well as on Columbia’s campus for legitimate student startup teams to address their legal questions. \nAll sessions will be conducted on a pro-bono basis.   The sessions are observed by Columbia Law School Students\, who seek to gain venture-law experience by observing the office hours. These participating law students gather with Charles and team afterwards to ask relevant questions and discuss the case confidentially. \n\n“The Startup Law Studio was a fantastic experience that we would not normally be exposed to while at Law School. The Perkins Coie lawyers were able to talk about startup law issues that we would not have been immersed in during a traditional class. This is a win-win situation for all involved”\n – James Induc Kim ‛16LAW\n\n \nAbout Charles Torres\nA fixture in New York City venture for over 15 years\, Charles is a trusted advisor for emerging technology companies at all stages of development\, as well as the institutions and individuals who invest in them. His practice focuses on counseling companies through formation\, minority and control investments\, debt financings\, mergers and acquisitions and related portfolio dispositions. He has been a passionate contributor to the New York City tech ecosystem: he opened the first major law firm office in Brooklyn; he is the founder of the Startup Center at Brooklyn’s growing Northside Festival; he is creator of the Emerging Company Workshop\, a lecture series he teaches at Columbia Business School and its downtown Columbia StartupLab; he was the creator of VCs on Skis\, a venture networking event for the New York City community; and he was a founding partner of WomenInnovateMobile (a first in kind accelerator for female-founded companies). \n\n“The session was especially helpful as Charles had not only legal expertise but also business insight and was well versed in the financial technology industry. It was a great opportunity for a startup like us to get professional feedback and clearly layout the regulatory environment of the industry PAIKON operates in.”\n – Tak Yeong Do ‛14SEAS\, CEO of PAIKON
