Cornell Shark Tank for Irresistible Trainees
New York, USA
14 December 2022
Serial entrepreneur, Larry J Gould has been getting to know the inventions of tomorrow whilst working on an Irresistible Entrepreneurship Program in collaboration with CUNY Hillels.
Students from CUNY Hillels have been invited to take part in a five-week irresistible training program to introduce them to the world of entrepreneurship, and the building blocks for creating a successful business. The program has been created and delivered by Larry J Gould, Founder and Chief Executive officer of the Irresistible Company.
The program culminated with a Shark Tank hosted by the Jacobs Technion Cornell Tech Institute at their Roosevelt Island campus. The students delivered their business idea pitch to a panel of top judges including Runway Visiting Committee Chair at Cornell Tech, Joshua Rusch. The winner of the Shark Tank, Alessandra Connaught (pictured below), was awarded with a $1000 prize to help her pursue her business idea further.
Karen Klein Director of Career Development, CUNY Career Connect said:
"We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to offer this program to our students. Larry's ongoing support, mentorship and guidance had an enormous impact, and the final Shark Tank competition was an exceptional
opportunity for them to learn from expert business leaders."
Larry J Gould added:
“I was inspired to start the Irresistible Company after working asa mentor for the Cornell Tech Postdoc Runway entrepreneur program. It was so exciting with startup businesses. From here, the mentoring developed into masterclasses. I have to admit it wasn't all for altruistic reasons as I have been delighted to be able to invest in some of the startups after seeing their great potential. “I have been amazed with the brilliant business ideas that these young students from CUNY Hillels came up with and how much they have learnt about the world of business in just a few short weeks. Their ability to articulate some pretty exciting business ideas was tremendous. I am grateful to Cornell Tech for hosting the shark tank at their Roosevelt Island facility."
