Something original that solved a problem that everyone wanted to get their hands on, something that made life easier. In theory, yes. After all, the foundation of a startup did start with identifying a problem and… Continue reading Startups, Not for Everyone
Truthfully, I wasn’t expecting to partake in an entrepreneurial adventure for the past semester, but it was interesting to delve into the state of media and learn from other startups. I really enjoyed listening to How I Built This podcasts, especially with Whitney Wolfe, founder of Bumble, and Carley Roney and David Liu, founders of… Continue reading Entrepreneurship Is Not For The Faint of Heart
As I approach graduation and look back at all the classes, I realize my media entrepreneurship course one of the most interesting and exciting courses I took.
