NewtonX, an artificial intelligence-powered knowledge search engine that matches clients to the world\u2019s leading investors, consultants, and technology experts, wanted to open an office in New York City. Sascha Eder, the co-founder and operations manager of the company, found everything it needed at the Queens College Tech Incubator.<\/p>\n

As a member of the incubator, Eder has access to college facilities and to QC\u2019s biggest asset\u2014its people. \u201cQueens College students and faculty are a great resource for us,\u201d he says, \u201cwhether it\u2019s talent in software engineering or a business professor\u2019s expertise.\u201d In turn, he has involved himself deeply in campus and community life.<\/p>\n

The mutually beneficial relationship between Queens College and Eder, a German native, results from the International Innovators Initiative (IN2NYC). Inaugurated in 2016 by the New York City Economic Development Corporation in collaboration with several CUNY colleges, IN2NYC is designed to attract foreign-born entrepreneurs to our city. Applicants who meet the qualifications receive the coveted cap-exempt H-1B visa to work in the United States while building their businesses in tech incubators at participating CUNY campuses and New York University. Additionally, IN2NYC participants serve as mentors to students, create internships and job opportunities, and contribute to academic research and curricula.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we established our tech incubator in 2016, we had in mind a rich partnership between tech-focused entrepreneurs, our students, faculty, and staff and the borough,\u201d says Queens College President F\u00e9lix Matos Rodriguez. \u201cHaving Sascha with us thanks to IN2NYC is exactly the kind of knowledge-sharing collaboration we anticipated.\u201d
After undergraduate studies at the University of Mannheim and the University Carlos III of Madrid, Eder earned a master\u2019s degree at the HEC School of Management in Paris. At 23, he moved to the United States to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, completing his second master\u2019s degree, in entrepreneurship and technological innovation.<\/p>\n

At QC, Eder launched a lecture series in which he discusses artificial intelligence and other technology subjects. These no-cost, one-hour events are open to students and the larger community. Eder also held a full-day weekend workshop focusing on the steps needed to succeed as an entrepreneur.

Using a unique algorithm, Eder is now discovering pertinent information about QC alumni that is being shared with the college\u2019s Alumni Office and Center for Career Engagement and Internships. \u201cWe\u2019ve been looking at the data on recent graduates,\u201d Eder said. \u201cWhat kinds of jobs are they getting? Where are they working geographically? What\u2019s the correlation with their major?\u201d<\/p>\n

For Media Studies Professor Douglas Rushkoff\u2019s Tech Development Lab class, Eder gave a talk, provided feedback on the students\u2019 work, and was a judge for their final presentations. In December, he joined the jury for the Tech Incubator\u2019s first \u201cPitch Fest,\u201d a competition awarding cash prizes to budding entrepreneurs who proposed the best ideas for tech-enabled products or services.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to be here,\u201d says Eder. \u201cI enjoy mentoring and teaching students and helping them to become the next generation of entrepreneurs,\u201d he says. \u201cThey will come up with the ideas that will at some point change the way we do things.\u201d<\/p>\n
