Freshman Seminar Fall 17 EMA

Andrew Teigman Carrer Blog Post

On November 16th, 2017 I attended the Start up Fair by the Baruch Hillel in the MPR. There was kosher food as well as a panel of multiple entrepreneurs who were keen in the business world. There was ten companies most of them were from Israel and had experience in the tech and Venture Capitalist markets there. The Specific company Sportsguru was my favorite. I had a meaningful conversation with the founder after. I spoke to him about potential flaws in his business model and their target market. He was very serious and was curious about my feedback. He made me really explain my points and why he agreed/disagreed with them. This was a great opportunity for me to learn a lot as a new student. The leaders gave me different things to think about when approaching hard ship. Opposition is sometimes the key success.In order to really be successful hard work and a determination must be included. Life is compared to an EKG graph there are both up and downs. If one is constant no growth or decline you flatline. The business world outside in New York City is one that is extremely competitive. We being students of Baruch College and hopefully ambassadors of its values need to value ethics and hard work. The idea of upward mobility is no more relevant in any other college in the world. We need to use our resources and our education to transform the business sector and the political climate as whole.These were some of the strong lessons iI learned from the incredible speakers at the event.They gave me a sense of hope and excitement for the future and what it entails.    I would like to thank Justin and Erin and FRO as a  whole to make me broaden my horizons and learn some important great values.
