NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering offers veterans a leg up on startups
State-Funded Business Program Graduates Third Class of Ex-military Entrepreneurs
Seventy five years after the naval aircraft from the Empire of Japan found the U.S. Pacific Fleet complacently at dock in Pearl Harbor, Future Labs at NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering graduated its third class of veteran entrepreneurs with a brief ceremony permitting them to display their products or tout their services to members of the business community, family and press.
The coincidence did not pass unnoticed.
“It is fitting that we’re here on the 75th anniversary of the infamous attack on our country,” said U.S. Army veteran Chris Shaw, managing director of Bunker Labs at NYU Tandon. “We remember the sacrifice of our brothers and sisters who did not have the opportunity to participate in this program, whether robbed of it in Pearl Harbor or Asadabad, Afghanistan.”
