The night before the conference, students in Cornell’s eLab business accelerator pitched their businesses to a crowd of alumni, entrepreneurs and potential investors and mentors. The event included a panel discussion hosted by Big Red Ventures.
“As a Cornell founder, especially going through the eLab process, it’s been really great to see everyone’s hard work coming to fruition,” said Bren Bodin, MBA ’26, the founder of fashion start-up FYBRE. “It was also interesting to see how the ecosystem of the city really comes out and supports founders.”
