Entrepreneurs play a vital role in industry development. Hear from two AE alums about the challenges, risks and triumphs of starting an aerospace business. Our panel will discuss the initial steps of beginning a business, how they raised capital and won support, how to turn research into a start up, what their biggest challenge was and how their time at Illinois prepared them to overcome it. The panel will be moderated by Samantha McCue (BS '13).
