Spring 2022 Projects
IPAthon
In collaboration with Entrepreneurship at Cornell, on March 26th, 2022, from 12:00PM - 2:00PM, we hosted Cornell’s first annual IPAthon. The event brought together 30+ attendees for two roundtables on entrepreneurship and intellectual property, and it was hosted at Collegetown E-Hub. Speakers and participants were able to engage in moderated discussions, Q&A, and even network with each other! Our target audience for the IPAthon are Cornell students and local entrepreneurs that have questions about IP or are interested in learning more about innovation.
Spring 2022 Consulting Projects pt. 1
Šóta Scores
Sota Signal Analytics is the service of parent company Fraud Doctor. Its founder, AEM alum and Utica adjunct instructor Ms. Alexis Bell, leads the startup, a project for which she’s invested thousands of hours and worked on for years. Sota analyzes publicly traded organizations and produces a risk score of potential fraud. Bell asserts this is the first large-scale project dedicated to quantifying financial fraud and providing feasible policy recommendations. Sota is run by an elaborate algorithm using publicly disclosed corporate data. The Sota Scores assess risk for financial fraud and mismanagement.
