Columbia Business School’s Eugene M. Lang Entrepreneurship Center (The Lang Center) aims to ​​catalyze best-in-class startups and investors that are shaping the future through curriculum, coaching, accelerator programs, and other resources. The Lang Center tracks follow a three-pronged approach:

Launch: For students and alumni planning to start their own business during or after business school

Invest: For students and alumni looking to learn about investing in startups through venture capital (early stage and growth) and angel investing

Scale:  For graduating students and alumni who have launched a startup are looking to grow

Building on a rich tradition of teaching and research in the field of entrepreneurship, Columbia Business School established the Center in 2000 with a gift from Eugene M. Lang, MS ’40. A member of the Columbia Business School Board of Overseers, Mr. Lang was both a successful entrepreneur and a distinguished philanthropist.
