Let’s face it. Whether you are starting your career or entrenched in a
domain, this Valley has stirred your aspirations to stake your claim as a
successful Entrepreneur. So why is it that despite the potent
combination of Wharton honed aptitude and Valley charged aspirations,
some are able to dedicate their careers to entrepreneurship and some are
captured in the “corporate rut”. Are there industries, companies,
products more apt for one kind of Entrepreneur vs another at different
stages in their career? What unique assets do professionals at different
stage in their careers bring to the table? How do you chart your path?
How can your fellow alumni help you in your endeavors?
Join the conversation to:
- Learn from a Corporate Executive, Entrepreneur, Venture Partner, and Fellow Alumnus
- Understand the nuances of companies built on deep skills, assets, and engineering
- Build a framework to uncover your relevance in the start-up ecosystem
- Connect with entrepreneurship focused alumni with complementary core strengths
