Dear Colleague,

The IMA is offering a workshop Fostering Mathematical Entrepreneurship for 
graduate students.  The idea of the 2-day workshop is to provide graduate 
students an experience that will give them the confidence to create a start-up. 
Students will meet entrepreneurs and venture capitalists, and learn how 
companies are started, and what it takes to start them.  They will be mentored 
by entrepreneurs and venture capitalists on creating business plans, and on 
pitching them.  More information is available here

The deadline for application is June 30.  We will let successful applicants 
know by the first week of July.

I hope you will encourage your students to apply.  We still have a few 
openings.  Thanks,

Best regards,

Fadil Santosa
