The Binghamton Startup List: a showcase for alumni entrepreneurs
Our alumni are incredibly bright and ambitious, leveraging their Binghamton University
education to assume leadership roles in the business world by starting their own ventures.
The Binghamton Startup List, jointly offered by the Alumni Association and the University's Office of Entrepreneurship
and Innovation Partnerships, is intended to be a central repository of information
about businesses formed by at least one Binghamton University graduate. The site can
help alumni entrepreneurs to form new business-to-business and business-to-client
relationships.
Binghamton University email
Through a partnership with Google, we're able to offer lifetime email to all Binghamton alumni. There is no cost to take advantage of this great Alumni Association benefit, and you get all email functions and features available within Gmail, but with an @binghamton.edu address.
