About Tech@NYU:

www.techatnyu.org

Mission: Tech@NYU is fostering a culture for students to build companies together.

Method: To get there, we need students continually building anything together. Why? It takes a lot of junk, a bag of bad ideas and shoddy execution scars to learn and internalize the nuances of great product and business. Tech@NYU is the sandbox that students need: a place to experiment, a forum for recognition, a classroom for discussion and learning.

Events are held throughout the academic year, open to all students, with a focus on consistency as to build community.

We also engage regularly with a number of NYC entrepreneurs who serve as mentors to students. Only several years old, Tech@NYU is one of the most diverse, most forward-moving student organizations in NYC.

Co-sponsorsed with NYU ACM:
