A
Thank
You
Jennifer
and
thank
you
mr.
mayor
dan
Kevin,
for
allowing
us
to
join
you
today.
I
am
co-founder
and
director,
along
with
Lenore
blom
of
the
Carnegie
Mellon
center
for
innovation
and
entrepreneurship,
and
we
really
take
seriously
our
role
in
regional
economic
development
and
we're
really
happy
to
participate
today
because
in
2007
Lenore
founded
project
Olympus,
which
was
the
first
incubator
here
in
town
and
sort
of
set
off
the
trend
of
creating
things
like
alpha
lab
and
Rev
Oakland.
So
we're
excited
to
be
part
of
that.
A
We
do
take
our
role
in
regional
economic
development
seriously.
Recent
startups
from
Carnegie
Mellon
have
created
over
a
thousand
jobs
here
in
the
city.
Some
of
them
you
may
know
this
is
for
moms.
This
was
in
the
Wall
Street
Journal
Rob
daily
and
Henry
thorn.
Henry
has
two
degrees
from
Carnegie
Mellon
Rob.
As
an
adjunct,
professor
they've
been
featured
in
national
media
the
last
three
years.
A
They
are
Ellen
DeGeneres's
mothers
day
show
do
a
lingo
here
in
Pittsburgh
it
was
the
app
of
the
year
in
2013
on
the
in
the
app
store
aquion
energy
has
based
here
in
lawrenceville
they've,
taken
over
the
Sony
plant
ovw
plant
down
in
new
stanton
and
building
their
batteries.
Their
blue
belt
technologies
recently
got
their
US
FDA
approval.
They
had
been
selling
in
Europe
and
now
they're,
actively
selling,
robotic
surgical
tools.
Here,
modcloth
interesting
story
started
here
to
Carnegie
Mellon,
grads,
Eric
and
Susan
kroger
started
in
scripture.
A
Stick
got
funding
from
San
Francisco
took
the
headquarters
out
there,
but
they
maintained
operations
and
technical
development
here
and
employ
hundreds
of
people
in
the
region
right
who's.
The
next
one
right.
Well,
one
great
candidate
might
be
soul,
power,
soul,
power
started
off
as
a
project
Olympus
probe.
They
went
through
alpha
lab
a
lab
gear.
There's
here
and
the
reason
they
won
the
rise
of
the
the
rest
competition
this
summer
and
they
got
the
invention
of
the
year
in
2014.
Now
everybody
knows
this
story
right.
A
The
Kauffman
Foundation
actually
picked
Pittsburgh
and
all
of
the
members
of
the
ecosystem.
Here
to
say:
hey
if
you're,
not
San,
Francisco
and
you're,
not
New,
York
City.
What
do
you
do?
And
so,
if
you
haven't
seen
this
website
from
the
coffin
foundations,
you
should
go
check
it
out
and
you'll
see
the
really
cool
things
going
on
now
we're
an
international
university,
the
fifth
most
international
in
the
world,
but
among
the
top
50,
the
most
international.
So
we
attract
the
best
and
the
brightest
from
around
the
world.
A
So
we
want
to
reach
out
into
the
ecosystem
of
Carnegie
Mellon
and
bring
some
of
that
back
to
bear
here
in
Pittsburgh,
for
example,
in
January
nest
labs
sold
to
google
for
3.2
billion
dollars.
Well,
it
turns
out
that
one
of
the
co-founders
Matt
Rogers
has
two
degrees
from
Carnegie
Mellon.
Now
we
got
lucky
the
week
after
he's
an
announcement
of
that
sale,
he
came
back
to
Carnegie
Mellon
to
inspire
our
student
and
faculty
and
we
had
nearly
500
people
in
the
room,
as
he
told
the
nest
labs
story.
A
This
is
a
company
called
Anki,
three
PhD
robotics
cysts
from
Carnegie
Mellon.
They
took
their
company
out
to
California,
but
they
really
stayed
in
touch
with
us.
A
year
ago
they
launched
on
stage
with
Tim
Cook
from
Apple.
During
his
keynote
speech
at
the
the
developers
conference,
he's
come
back
Boris
one
of
the
founders.
He
was
the
keynote
speaker
at
our
show-and-tell
for
project
Olympus
list
last
spring
and
continues
to
come
back
and
work
with
our
students
and
inspire
them
life
sciences.
We
have
a
lot
going
on
there.
A
This
is
Jonathan
rothberg,
who
has
created
some
of
the
most
valuable
genetics
companies
in
the
world.
John
Kaplan,
who
created
the
flip
video
cameras
before
the
cell
phone
cameras,
got
so
good
soul
of
the
cisco
made
a
bunch
of
money.
He
gave
us
a
knife
gift
and,
along
with
the
mccune
foundation,
we've
been
able
to
create
the
open
field
entrepreneurs
fund
and
in
the
last
three
years
we've
made
38
investments.
A
25
of
them
have
stayed
here
in
Pittsburgh.
So
how
are
we
doing
all
this?
We
brought
project
Olympus
in
the
don
jones
center
together
22
years
ago
to
form
the
center
for
innovation
and
entrepreneurship.
We
partner
closely
with
the
center
for
technology
transfer
and
enterprise
creation,
read
manacles
here
today,
representing
them
to
create
a
sort
of
one-stop
shop
at
Carnegie
Mellon.
We
have
three
goals:
one
is
to
make
TMU
the
premier
entrepreneurial
university
in
the
world.
A
The
second
is
to
create
more
valuable
companies
out
of
the
great
research
and
ideas
that
come
from
our
students
and
again
plug
into
that
alumni
network,
so
that
all
of
our
alumni
can
be
customers
or
suppliers
or
mentors
or
investors
in
each
other's
companies.
We
do
that
by
embracing
everybody
at
the
university.
A
The
last
slide
I
have
here
is
a
recent
development
and
when
we're
blum
is
the
principal
investigator
at
an
NSF,
I
coresight,
this
is
a
program.
That's
gaining
national
notoriety.
It
actually
was
started
by
President
Suresh
when
he
was
the
director
at
NSF
and
even
in
the
title
you
see
that
we
are
about
diversity
and
regional
economic
development.
So
again
we
take
our
role
seriously
and
we
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
chat
with
you
today
about.
