Neal Sales Griffin has done everything from selling Christmas trees to starting two companies. Griffin’s interest in business began when he sold Christmas trees during junior high school for money. His interest was piqued and he began selling more items. When he graduates, this Learning and Organizational Change major in the School of Education and Social Policy, would like to do the impossible: become a venture capitalist. As a freshman, Griffin also worked with a startup, Context Media, founded by two Northwestern students: Rishi Shah and alumni Derek Moeller.

His first company, Campuslist, co-founded by himself and Jon Drake, is a online marketplace for college students.
