CWRU Startup Showcase: Edifice Analytics & Workbench
Registration
Details
In 2020, Gordon joined Edifice Analytics, a service providing a new form of virtual commercial building energy audits, commercializing technology developed at CWRU. Prior to that, he founded Custom Within Reach™ from Vista Finishing to fill a need within the kitchen cabinet industry. He also is a management design consultant and works to transform organizations.
Ghosh and Fridman both graduated CWRU in 2019 and founded Workbench Technologies the same year. Workbench builds project management software for supply chain teams, digitizing a process that is often done manually. The year prior, they founded Boundary Labs to digitize factory floors, which led them to see the need that Workbench now fills.
This conversation will be facilitated by Case Western Reserve University student Shweta Mohapatra (CWR '22) who is pursuing a BA in Cognitive Science and Chemical Biology.
