Student raises $1 million to fund startup
Summary
“It is digitizing the conference experience and giving them a safe place to have clinical discussions.” According to Conyer, the goal of the startup is to connect the global community of surgeons who wish to communicate with each other but otherwise lack the ability to do so. “I was frustrated with the lack of progress in the fundraising.” However, after pitching his idea to an acquaintance he met at his sister’s restaurant, Conyer found the support he was looking for. Conyer’s team consists of several USC alumni such as Jihye Shin, Marshall MBA class of 2014, and Annie Chi So, a Viterbi School of Engineering graduate of 2008. It gave me the confidence to get out of my comfort zone, quit my dream job and pursue this.” Conyer also received support from the team that worked to develop GIBLIB from start to finish. “I think this product is exciting, but mainly it is because of the investors, advisors and everyone who jumped on board as a team, which made it a success,” Conyer said.
