Introducing the CVC30
We're excited to announce the first annual CVC30, a list of Columbians who have accomplished the most interesting things in the technology, entrepreneurship, and venture industries.
From not-yet-graduated wunderkinds to venerated experts, the 2011 CVC30 is made up of alumni, faculty, staff, and students who represent a host of diverse backgrounds and experiences, much like CVC itself.
It goes without saying that there are many, many more people who deserve to be applauded for their accomplishments this year. We hope this list will serve as a reminder that with every round of funding raised, site launched, and graduate who dares to take a non-traditional career path, Columbia and New York City are only growing in their relevance to the startup world .
