CED CASE STUDY
Moise Khayrallah rsquo;s Start-Up Success
CED strives to create programs and events that help entrepreneurs at every stage of their business succeed. Moise Khayrallah, Ph.D., took full advantage of the tools and networking opportunities available to him as a CED member and has been wildly successful over the past few years.
With a background in pharmaceutical drug development and experience in planning, development and fundraising, Khayrallah and his business partner developed the concept and technology for an original product, but had not actually formed a business.
Through participation in CED conferences and events, Khayrallah became familiar with the FastTrac reg; TechVenture trade; program.
