Stay Connected with the HEC Incubator:

Emilie, EMBA graduate 2015 and part of HEC Incubator, lead the MBA Entrepreneurship club first talk last week. She explained her choice to leave Big companies (Disney) to work on her own project Myjobglasses
For her, instead of waiting to be 30-35 years old to work on things making sense, she thought about giving students keys to make a better career choice earlier.
With Frédéric, co-founder of Myjobglasses, they work to change the way recruiting is done, by giving students access to a network of professionals willing to speak with them and help them to build their own path toward a great job they'll be happy to do!
They've created a website where students can meet professionals in their office to better understand their job and create their first network.

How Women VCs Affect The Performance Of Firms And Startups
|

by Sonya Mann · 3rd of October

Women venture capitalists may not be better than men directly, but their involvement is positive for the industry overall.
Who’s better at investing in startups, women or men? Who makes better picks and produces greater returns?
As the broader technology industry wakes up to its lack of diversity, the investors who fuel its growth are slowly coming around. Leaving aside misguided op-eds asking women to effectively terminate their identities, some are saying that not only do women VCs measure up to their male counterparts, but that they might excel past the average.(...)
