Please join us on Tuesday, May 26th for a virtual session featuring three of these extraordinary Runway Postdocs. Q&A to follow. Please register to receive a link to the session via email.

SPEAKERS
Panel discussion led by Fernando Gómez-Baquero, Director of Runway and Spinouts at the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute at Cornell Tech and featuring:

The Runway Startup Postdoc Program is part business school, part research institution, part startup incubator. Based at the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute, Runway ushers recent PhDs in digital technology fields through a paradigm shift—from an academic mindset to an entrepreneurial outlook. Postdocs come to the Institute with ideas for unproven products and markets and receive significant support as well as mentorship from academic and business experts in connective media, health technology, security & privacy and computer vision, among a number of other fields.
