About this Event
The Innovate State Speaker Series brings both emerging and accomplished Spartans back to campus for a fireside chat-style interview. These 60-minute sessions offer the chance for guests to share their perspectives on a wide array of topics like innovation, startup life, investments, and career paths. Students get the opportunity to hear firsthand about the hard knocks of the entrepreneurship & innovation hustle to maintaining work/life balance. These are stories of success, stories of failures, and stories of uncommon will—and you do not want to miss them.
Innovate State kicks-off at 6 p.m. ET in the Entrepreneurship Lab (651 N. Shaw Ln., M025 Business Pavilion, East Lansing, MI 48824) and are free to the community. Events will be offered in-person only but are available virtually on the Friday following the event at eship.msu.edu/innovate-state/. Early registration is highly encouraged.
About Our Speaker
Seth Killian, CEO & Co-Founder, Lingco
Seth Killian is a 2020 graduate of the College of Engineering, where he studied Computer Science and French. During his junior year, he founded Lingco as a student startup in the Hatch program from a desire to study abroad but lack of current and effective resources. Seth met his co-founders as a result of a MSU-sponsored Startup Weekend and Red Cedar Ventures and Conquer were among his first investors. Following graduation, Lingco's user base grew from the initial 1,000 at Michigan State to over 500,000 nationwide. These days Seth lives in New York City, but spends much of the year traveling the world practicing his French and Spanish skills, and collecting new relevant content for the Lingco platform. Honors include being named to the 2023 Forbes 30 Under 30 list for Education, and as a semi-finalist for the 5th grade spelling bee.
