ALUMNI UPDATES

Entrepreneurial Spirit

With the support of the Columbia University Eugene Lang Entrepreneurship Initiative Fund, Steve Grushcow ’97 has launched Edit.com, which provides website maintenance to small, non-technical businesses. The company offers accessible, do-it-yourself online editing, which is intended as a “service for non-technical people to easily edit their website themselves.”

An economics major, Grushcow was active with Columbia Student Enterprises, including working as manager of the Columbia Campus Pages in 1996. The year before, he founded the Used Book Emporium, an online bulletin board for Columbia students to buy and sell used books. He also mentored high school students with Community Impact.

After graduating, Grushcow developed the web company Nylon Technology with John Coletti ’97 and Jim Curran ’97E. In 2002, Grushcow returned to Columbia and enrolled in the Business School’s executive M.B.A. program, graduating last year. He entered the Lang Fund Business Plan Competition, and Edit.com was one of the three winning ventures.
