We match interested student-members with innovators from the Emory and GATech communities to tackle the next big hurdle for our innovators; historically, these have included market analysis, competitor identification and analysis, regulatory pathway identification, and more. Recently, we also include professional development programing aimed at entering the strategy consulting space including case interview workshops and case competitions.

As such, while membership is open to the entire Emory community (and extended to neighboring institutions like Georgia Tech and Georgia State University), there is an emphasis on connecting STEM and business graduate students. We anticipate the program will allow participants to apply their current expertise and to develop new skill-sets via experiential learning in alternative disciplines that improves networking and career prospects. This interdisciplinary program is funded by Dean Lisa Tedesco (Laney Graduate School) and actively partnered with Emory’s Office of Technology Transfer (OTT), who are instrumental for helping recruit participating start-ups.
