Yaron Samid

This month we have a very special event that has become an annual tradition. We're hosting IDC Herzliya's top 2009 Zell Entrepreneurship Program grad students for an American Idol style competition. The student teams are coming from Israel to present their startups followed by group Q&A and live SMS voting. This event will be held at Baruch College's beautiful Engelman Recital Hall.

Presenting Startups:*

  • Wisebo - Browser plugin that displays your Facebook and Twitter friends recommendations on movies and other products you see while surfing the web.
  • Funkkit - web site that lets anyone design, buy and sell sneaker stickers for almost any shoe. If you've got kids, you'll be hearing a lot about this startup.
  • Locktell - patent-pending screw-bolt automatically signals when loose. Saves millions in plane, train, automobile and housing maintenance.
  • GameSpeak - enables PC gamers to text and voice chat using their existing IM accounts (e.g. Skype) while playing games in full-screen mode.
*Web sites are still stealth

Agenda:
6:30pm-7:00pm Networking (Light food & drinks)
7:00pm-8:00pm Startup Presentations, Q&A and Voting
8:00pm-8:30pm Job Exchange & Networking

See you soon!

    Yaron, It was nice to learn about ideas that had been developed by Zell's students. Would be nice to learn more about what's unique in Zell Education and about Entrepreneurship Education Programs in general. Thank you for the evening.
