Marist Young Entrepreneurs
Student-led entrepreneurship club founded in Fall 2024 by Tyler Mecca '27. Aims to assist aspiring entrepreneurs by organizing programs, events, and activities that help members learn how to start and grow ventures and connect with opportunities like the New York Business Plan Competition.
Meets bi-weekly. Membership grew 250%+ within the first year. Hosted an Innovation Challenge in November 2025 with 30 teams, 60 participants, and 15 judges. Official faculty advisor: Dr. David Gavin.
Active on Instagram (@marist.mye) with ongoing 2025-2026 content showing club members participating in the NYBPC. Connected to the Marist School of Management student organizations directory.
Assessment
Very new club (founded 2024) with impressive early growth and engagement metrics. The Innovation Challenge is a notable student-organized event. However, the club has limited track record and no documented startup outcomes yet. Represents organic student demand for entrepreneurship programming beyond the formal curriculum.
