Congratulations to Ignite Fellowship Fall 2016 Cohort!
Six individuals representing five teams from five NYU schools were accepted into the Fall 2016 Ignite Fellowship cohort.
Each Tuesday from 12:00-1:30PM, the Ignite fellows engages in a peer to peer lunch & learn discussion about their business model, progress they have made and challenges they continue to face building their venture. A guest speaker joins the group each week to discuss applied lean skills and how to execute commercialization strategies effectively.
Check out the ventures below, and save the date for a venture panel on December 13, 2016 to see what these six teams learned at the Ignite fellowship.
