We were hoping to do an in-person gala this year for the 2020 Spring semester teams to present their work, but as that isn’t going to happen, we are moving virtually!

That said, we will be hosting a virtual gala on Thursday, October 15 at 5:30-6:30 PM EST via Zoom. One of the pluses of moving virtually is that anybody can attend to listen to our past teams present their work and findings, along with Q&A and networking. If you’re interested in learning more about EBCC, the projects we undertake, and the work our teams have done, register here.

If you can’t attend the gala, but want to be updated with future events, go here to be added to the listserv.

We will be participating in a discussion hosted by The Hatchery, Emory Center for Innovation. This will be the first event of their series, Find Your Flock, Emory Innovators Showcase. This will be held Tuesday, September 29, at 3PM EST via Zoom. To learn more about EBCC, register for this event. Join the EBCC listserv to get updates on future events, including team presentations from Spring 2020, professional development activities, and forming our next cohort of teams.

This semester’s kickoff is Tuesday, January 28, 2020 from 4-5:30 PM in Atwood 360. Register here!

Kickoff Flyer – Spring 2020

We are hosting a kickoff event to get the semester started. If you are a student from Laney, GDBBS, Goizueta, Rollins, Emory Law or Medical Schools, you are our target audience! We want to assemble interdisciplinary teams of students to act as consulting groups for start-up companies that began right here at Emory, and to help these companies conduct market analysis and other project-specific needs. Experience is not necessary, as this club aims to provide entrepreneurial environments for you to apply your current knowledge and expertise.

Join us September 5, 2019 in the chemistry building, Atwood Hall Room 360, to hear more about joining EBCC and the companies that are participating in our Fall cohort (September – December 2019). Click the “REGISTRATION” tab and follow the link to become a member of the EBCC, and to register today to attend the kickoff event to learn more!

Thanks to all for a great inaugural semester of EBCC. We are in the process of finalizing the projects for this upcoming Fall Semester cohort. 

We are hosting two events to gear up for the semester. 

Open House, Thursday, August 15, 4-6PM, Atwood 316: This is for students and staff interested in learning more about EBCC and how they can get involved. Refreshments provided. 

Kickoff, Thursday, September 5, 4-5:30PM, Atwood 360: This event is open to everybody. We will give an introduction of the club, the participating companies/PIs will speak, and those interested in joining teams will provide information. Reception will follow speakers. 

Email Erika (ecsatar [at] emory [dot] edu) with any questions. 

To begin, I want to send out a deserved congrats to everyone that has been participating in our inaugural cohort of #EBCC and for helping make this club such a success. Our idea for the club would be nothing without the hard work you have all put towards your respective projects, and of course to the PIs for their willingness to join forces with us. It will be a strong push to the finish line and for everyone to present and celebrate your achievements for the semester, but we are here to help you in whatever ways possible. Do not hesitate to reach out, and expect us to contact you to see what we can do for each of you.

Secondly, we are going to be presenting a poster to highlight our club at the upcoming Emory Innovation Showcase (April 18, 2019; http://innovate.emory.edu/). We suggest that everyone consider registering for the FREE event, because it should be very informative and a great networking opportunity with big names from Emory and the Atlanta area. This is yet another call to any of you to provide us with a testimonial (email or direct message me) about your experience with the club, and we may use it on our poster or with future marketing material (with your permission).

Additionally, if you have had positive experiences with #EBCC this year and would like to get involved in a larger role for future cohorts, please reach out to us. We are very open to discussion about potential roles within the club, and what assets you think you can bring to the club and hopefully help make it even stronger.

Lastly, we want to promote an upcoming opportunity presented by Goizueta Business School called Emory Startup Launch. Applications are currently open for this 10-week program that is designed to help early-stage startups build and test their business ideas and models. It could be a great chance to take some of the Spring 2019 projects and continue to adapt the business, or for any of you to make your own jump into the entrepreneurial pool! Check the program out and see if it is right for you, and be sure to spread the word to anyone else that may be interested.

Once again, congrats to all of our current teams for the great work that you have accomplished so far, and we look forward to being able to celebrate those successes with you at our semester-end “Gala” (April 30, 2019).
