Every week during the Flatiron School semester, 3 students will present a 20 minute talk and then we’ll have an hour of networking and discussiong. Every Thursday from 7pm-9pm!

This week we have Matt, Carlos, David, and Alisa presenting NYC Street Sweep, that will allow New Yorkers to plug in which block they parked their car on. With that information, we’ll be able to figure out the street cleaning schedule and send them a text or tweet as a reminder before they have to move their car.

See you Thursday!

PS – We are only charging $1 to ensure that RSVPs are somewhat meaningful. All proceeds will be donated to an open source project or Wikipedia. Feel free to just show up too.

Samsung Ventures

Did you know how many divisions and how many areas of technology and business Samsung reaches?  It’s quite impressive.  Samsung is launching an incubator / innovation group of their own here in New York.  They kicked off Samsung Ventures East Coast to a room full of investors in Boston last month.

Samsung has set up a new $100 million venture fund to support early-stage innovation.

Based in Menlo Park, the new Samsung Strategy and Innovation Center plans to invest in the development of components such as displays and silicon subsystems. The center’s Catalyst Fund will focus on supporting entrepreneurs, academics and artists, looking at early stage investments.

The Innovation center will work hand-in-hand with Samsung’s Ventures America Fund, which has $1 billion in assets, as well as other parts of Samsung’s business. Samsung can offer entrepreneurs not only money to explore their ideas, but later-stage funding and a “platform” to potentially incorporate, market and manufacture products derived from them.

 

Hyuk-Jeen Suh joined Samsung Ventures in 2012 and is the head of the Samsung Ventures East Coast office.

Before joining Samsung Ventures, Hyuk-Jeen worked at J.P. Morgan investment banking in the Technology, Media, and Telecom group. Prior to J.P. Morgan, he was the global senior business development and marketing manager at MEMSIC, a semiconductor startup with clients in the automobile and consumer electronics industry.  He led the global marketing strategy which contributed to the successful IPO of MEMSIC in 2007.  Prior to joining MEMSIC, Hyuk-Jeen was a senior research engineer at Sequenom, a biotech startup. He conducted research on DNA biochips and led joint venture projects with Hitachi and Samsung to successfully design and launch high-throughput bio instruments.  He began his career at Intel Corporation as a process engineer, leading yield improvement projects which contributed to one of the highest yield rates in Intel history for the Pentium microprocessor.

Hyuk-Jeen earned his Ph.D. in electrical engineering, focusing on Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  He earned his MBA from Yale School of Management. He holds a B.S. in mechanical engineering, B.A in economics and M.E in electrical engineering, all from Cornell University.
