Cornell Center for Regional Economic Advancement

CREA's Executive Director Tom Schryver testified in Albany on Nov. 10 to share some of the many ways that state funding has supported entrepreneurship success at Cornell University, in Ithaca, and around the Southern Tier region. Highlights included Ursa Space Systems recent raise and hiring announcement, RosieApp's growth to over 100 retailers nationwide, winners C4V from Binghamton University, and the work of the Southern Tier Startup Alliance with support from Empire State Development's NYSTAR program.

Everyone at CREA is proud to support such a wide network of success stories in our schools, cities, and throughout our region and state. Here's looking forward to more stories in 2018!

It's great to start the week with such an uplifting article from The Cornell Daily Sun about Colby Triolo's startup YouMakeYou and all of the resources for student entrepreneurs in the Cornell ecosystem; Cornell eLab accelerator, Cornell eHub, and Life Changing Labs are just a few of the possibilities here. We agree Colby: the opportunities are endless!

‘Literally Endless’ Resources Help Support Student Startups Cornell supports student entrepreneurs through programs such as eLab, which aims to help students juggle both their startups and school work at the same time.
