The ecosystem around entrepreneurship at Columbia is vibrant, brilliant, and cutting edge. At the very heart of CE’s mandate is to find ways to take advantage of the enormous power, vitality, and resources of the entire University so that, indeed, the whole of our energies is much greater than merely the sum of the parts. Our modus operandi is to encourage partnerships between schools and institutes, students and alumni, the NYC community, and government officials.
