2019 | PROJECT, HOBBY… OR COMPANY?
Great startups begin with intrepid entrepreneurs, bursting with creativity, energy – and the ability to cope with sleep deprivation is often helpful. Also, an essential component of a successful startup is a great idea – an idea that can be commercialized or monetized in some way. Some successful companies have been spawned from a hobby – say, for example, Mark Zuckerberg’s online student directory and photo sharing program – or an interesting research project that can be massaged into a commercial product, like HUMIRA® (adalimumab), from Cambridge Antibody Technology. However, not all projects or hobbies will ever be anything more than an interesting tool or a pleasant way to pass the time. Our panel of experts will help to clarify what it takes to make a company.
Join us for a compelling discussion and some great networking.
