BRIDGING THE GAP: THE CORNELL TECH EXPERIENCE
The Cornell Tech story began almost a decade ago, when the Bloomberg administration helped lay the groundwork for an applied science-focused campus that would serve as a bridge between academia and the industries that power New York City. In September, Cornell Tech will grow to several hundred students and move into its new home on Roosevelt Island. Uru is a company that embodies the Cornell Tech promise. Its machine learning-powered, content-aware advertising technology was created while its founders were computer science graduate students at Cornell Tech and then developed in close partnership with NYC's media and advertising companies. Backed by several of the east coast's most notable VCs and the winner of international awards, Uru offers a glimpse into the future of advertising and foreshadows the enormous impact that Cornell Tech will have on our city.
