Many CEL Practicum&＃160;students have the opportunity to travel internationally to understand business on a global scale. In contrast, The Yield Lab team has a unique experience to work with a local company headquartered in St. Louis that has global impact. Part of this will include traveling to Dublin to see Yield Lab&＃8217;s agriculture technology processes in action. The Yield Lab is a family of agricultural technology venture capital funds and accelerators that invest in innovative companies with the potential to sustainably increase food production globally. I&＃8217;m interested in learning more about venture capital and how funds are managed and differ internationally. This is a great opportunity because of The Yield Lab&＃8217;s international presence. I&＃8217;m very happy to learn the venture capital structure specifically in Argentina and Ireland. &＃8212;Carola De La Torre Cuba With the support from investors and experienced individuals who nurture startups in the agriculture industry, Yield Lab has recognized tremendous opportunity for growth globally. Since its inception, Yield Lab&＃8217;s global reach has expanded quickly with additional funds established in Ireland and Argentina. As Yield Lab continues to expand its brand to various regions, an efficient and connected global management structure is vital. Here&＃8217;s Where CEL Comes In The Yield Lab has engaged the Center for Experiential Learning team to address the challenges inherent in the current structure and explore the dynamics of Yield Lab&＃8217;s expansion plans. The content around agricultural technology, venture capital, and how both of these work together is what interests me. I hope to enhance my leadership techniques and also learn from the team&＃8212;especially with their unique skills and backgrounds. &＃8212;Sharon Mazimba With the support of Washington University in St. Louis, the CEL Practicum team aims to provide The Yield Lab with a recommendation that will facilitate its goal of furthering global reach in agricultural technology venture capital funds and accelerators. The team will focus on developing a scalable structure as new locations join under the Yield Lab umbrella, thus helping the Yield Lab brand grow. Leading The Yield Lab team is Sharon Mazimba, MBA &＃8217;19. Sharon will serve as the project manager and main point of contact between the team and the client. The rest of the team&＃8212;Carola De La Torre Cuba, MBA &＃8217;19; Rohan Kamalia, MBA &＃8217;18; Ashiq Cherian, SMP &＃8217;18; and Meredith Owen, MBA &＃8217;19&＃8212;will serve as strategists to ground all recommendations in data. There is so much I want to learn from The Yield Lab and I&＃8217;m excited to work with knowledgeable teammates. I believe learning does not only happen in the classroom, but is exemplified with experiential projects. Looking forward to learning more about teammates&＃8212;their talents and specific interests. &＃8212;Rohan Kamalia This team blends diverse cultural backgrounds stemming from Zambia, Peru, India, and the United States with an array of professional experience from doctoral level academia to strong finance and technology backgrounds. The strategic selection of The Yield Lab team exemplifies the breadth and depth of experience and values that the CEL and Olin Business School bring to our partner consulting companies. Each team member is coming in with his or her own purpose and sense of enthusiasm. Get to know the team a bit more here and learn more about their unique passions to create impact for the client. I&＃8217;m excited to work with students in the MBA program, because I feel they bring a vast array of experience. Looking forward to exploring the details of how funds are managed internally and diving into the deal flow structure. &＃8212;Ashiq Cherian &＃8220;Traveling to Ireland and being able to travel internationally alongside my team is a huge plus! I am also fascinated by agricultural technology and the startup space. Excited to network in the agricultural technology space and create a valuable and meaningful solution for our client.&＃8221; &＃8211;Meredith&＃160;Owen --> Stay tuned to hear how their trip goes and how in-person meetings help students deliver impact in part two.
