Columbia Business School Dean Visits New Entrepreneurial Business Lab
The dean of Columbia Business School (CBS) last week visited the new Soho office space where recent entrepreneurial graduates are working on start-up companies, the New York City school announced. CBS Dean Glenn Hubbard visited the Columbia Business Lab (CBL) on August 7th, taking time to speak with each of the entrepreneurs and learn what the new space means to them.
The co-working space, provided by WorkSpace at Edison Properties, affords recent graduates access to CBS’s resources and faculty as they work to get their ventures up and running. It currently houses 21 ventures, with 29 entrepreneurs in total. Formal programming and admissions requirements for future lab participants will be shaped over the coming year.
“To me this space means I don’t have to worry about skimping on important expenses at this critical stage in my business development and instead can spend more time thinking about critical business issues,” Daniel Merns ’12, told Hubbard.
“The best reason to go to a great business school is to learn to think like an entrepreneur,” Hubbard said. He considers entrepreneurship to be part of Columbia’s DNA and is proud of the role the CBL will play in helping students pursue their entrepreneurial goals.
In addition to the working space and resources provided to selected recent graduates, the lab will host training sessions and networking events for the wider Columbia and New York City entrepreneurial community, in partnership with CBS’s Eugene Lange Entrepreneurship Center.
