Textbook Ventures’ Post

Last night in the Launch Your Startup in the Eugene M. Lang Entrepreneurship Center at Columbia Business School we had the distinct pleasure and honor to welcome two old friends and incredible people to tell their stories and share wisdom. Quite the contrast, Tori Bell is a dynamic young entrepreneur and founder of Inclusion Unpacked (Techstars '24), also Greenhouse '23. Jeremy Kagan, no less dynamic(!), has like me, a few more miles on the engine and still out there fighting the good fight as an angel investor, founder of Textbook Ventures, mentor at ERA accelerator and professor at Columbia, NYU and Cornell (how does he do that?!). It was a great night loaded with insights, empathy for the journey and advics on how to ride the ups and downs. Carly Chase Maggi Heneghan
