Ignite Meet Up for Fellows

In January, we will organize our first monthly Ignite Meetup for Fellows. In addition to discussing upcoming training and events for 2023, we will be hosting a conversation with John E. Alexander, Cornell Alumni AB 74’ MBA 76’, founding member of Cayuga Venture Fund and Red Bear Angels, and a successful serial entrepreneur. This will be an opportunity to have a Q&A-style discussion with an emphasis on how to create and manage new ventures.
