Not Just for Techies
University Hall Conference Center
If you think only of tech companies when you hear the word “startup,” think again. Humanities and language studies can also be the spark for a startup, especially in New Jersey and New York City. A panel of experts will explore the intersection of languages, technology and entrepreneurship. The panelists will examine the vital role that humanities play in today’s international do-it-yourself economy by using Italy as a case study.
Panel includes:
Maria Teresa Cometto, journalist, and Alessandro Piol, venture capitalist and angel investor. Co-authors, “Tech in the City: The Making of New York’s Startup Community”
Guy Story, CTO and chief scientist, Audible
Claudio Vaccarella, founder and CEO, HyperTV
Event is co-organized and co-sponsored by The Theresa and Lawrence R. Inserra Chair in Italian and Italian American Studies, Department of Spanish and Italian, and the Feliciano Center for Entrepreneurship. The event is supported by Genova Burns Giantomasi Webster.

What’s Your Number? How to Prepare to Sell Your Business

It’s a deep dive into how to unlock liquidity when you own a business. It’s built around the idea of “begin with the end in mind.” Schiff is a dynamic speaker, and has been a great partner for our Center by working with our students.
