“Working with the mentors at the CTech Founder’s Program has been a revelation. What was an idea in my head until then became very real. From being a sounding board to giving invaluable advice to startup founders, Dave and Lara wore many hats and guided us through our initial journeys.” – Dr. Tilak Pasala, CBS

 

CTech represents a university-wide collaboration between the Business School’s Eugene Lang Center for Entrepreneurship, the Engineering School’s IEOR Department, and Columbia Entrepreneurship.
