SUMMARY:Eclectic Convergence 2026
DESCRIPTION:The full-day event brings together founders\, investors\, students\, faculty\, and alumni to hear firsthand accounts of how iconic companies were built\, from early idea through scale and exit. Cornell researchers\, founders\, and industry partners considering a startup pathway for their work are encouraged to attend. \nThe program features founders and operators across health tech\, consumer\, cybersecurity\, media\, and enterprise software\, sharing the decisions\, missteps\, and turning points behind their companies. The afternoon includes a live pitch competition among Cornell startup teams and a reunion panel of the Blackboard co-founders\, offering a rare look at how one Cornell-rooted company went from campus to public markets. For anyone weighing whether to commercialize a discovery or scale an early venture\, the day offers practical perspective from people who have done it. \nRegister here.
