It was entrepreneurship day at Harvard Business School where we introduce our first year students to the zillion different ways we foster their creativity and support them as they learn and develop their ideas. Great kickoff by our HBS Arthur Rock Center for Entrepreneurship ED Elise Bates and my faculty co-chair Shikhar Ghosh. Several of my amazing students also shared their journeys so far (Dylan Paul, Lindsey Chrismon & Diana Schoeller) and promoted the Entrepreneurship Club (Hunter van Adelsberg & Jing Li.)
Join us for our annual B-School Disrupt event during Tech Crunch Disrupt week in San Francisco. We're excited to once again gather the B-School alumni entrepreneurial communities of Harvard, INSEAD, and Berkeley for this all-star event. You must pre-register to attend. Last year sold out, so be sure to buy your ticket early. This annual event is co-hosted this year by the HBS Arthur Rock Center for Entrepreneurship, INSEAD, Berkeley Haas and the Harvard Innovation Labs.
