Students Lead Double Lives as CEO’s
Mike Stern and Peter Venech, founders of a business in New Haven, Connecticut called Aquarium Ventures, are both a part of a new generation of CEO’s.“Running a startup company is like being a juggler with a thousand different balls in the air. You can’t let any of them drop,” offers Stern. And apparently both he and Venech can juggle quite well. An investment firm, Dagim Capital, recently sank $1 million dollars into the company. Not bad for two college students, huh?
Stern, who along with Venech, is a student at Yale University, admits that school, work and play can make for a difficult balancing act. But, he says, that won’t keep them from striking out into new business frontiers.
In some ways Stern and Venech’s collegiate creation is an indication of a larger trend in entrepreneurship at universities around the country. Aquarium Ventures is an incubator that helps out other student startups by giving them the tools they need to get on their feet.
