Video Lecture: Are Entrepreneurs Born or Made?

Video Lecture: Are Entrepreneurs Born or Made?

Estimated Reading Time: 🕘 Less than a minute

In this lecture, Dr. Kurt Beyer of UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business weighs in on whether entrepreneurs are born or made.

 

Some highlights – 

Over the last 25 years, the EU in its entirety has created only 1 startup to raise to the Fortune 500.  Silicon Valley has produced 30.

Innovation occurs within a system and effective startup ecosystems include:

  • Universities
  • Human Capital
  • Legal & Taxation Law
  • VC & Angel Funding
  • Culture

Ambition matters – setting your sights high and instilling a cultural value of growth matters more than you think.

Professor Beyer concludes by stating that “Entrepreneurs are not born, they’re made, and they’re made at Haas.”

Let’s hear your thoughts.  Is this what it takes to succeed or are you just born with it?
