Built by Dragons
A founder graph, not a flat directory.
Each company is its own object and can move from idea to public company without changing identity. Founder records appear only from public sources or reviewed claims. This page does not replace the Close School, Baiada, or StartupTree.
Queries the graph can answer
- Founders connected to Philadelphia
- Healthcare founders
- Alumni founders, 1980–2000
- AI founders
- Alumni willing to mentor
- Companies that employ Dragons
Founders in the graph
No founder or co-founder role matches this query yet. Companies and people are added from public sources, not from a fabricated directory.
Companies
No company objects yet. A startup becomes a company object when a public source identifies it.
Drexel entrepreneurship ecosystem
- Dragon Ventures
Ciright network for Dragons helping Dragons build. It is a proposed public ecosystem connecting experienced alumni operators with Drexel-connected founders. It is not an official Drexel University investment fund. Any investment vehicle would require its own legal structure and documentation.
- Drexel Startups Fund
Twice-yearly Close School pitch competition, supported by Baiada, that awards non-dilutive grants. This is a Drexel program, distinct from the Ciright Dragon Ventures network.
- Laurence A. Baiada Institute for Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship institute of the Close School. Incubator and mentoring hub for Drexel students. Represented here as a connected object, not as a replacement.
- MentorHub
Baiada mentoring program connecting student founders with screened alumni and friends of Drexel. Member records stay on StartupTree.
