Self: Diff for "Entrepreneurship clinic"

(Prof Molly Jahn and Sector 67's Chris Meyer pitching Agricultural Innovation Prize, 2014)

Entrepreneurship clinic

This project is a resource letter to enable students to take advantage of campus, local, and national opportunities such as Startup Weekend and the Wisconsin Entrepreneurs' Network to learn about entrepreneurship, and to aid conversion of Garage Physics projects into viable spin-off companies.

Invocation

"Entendre" means to undertake. An entrepreneurial spirit seeks opportunity in all things. It is an attitude that can serve you well. Would you like to start your future now, or just maybe think about it later and coast? Make something now or wait until say graduate school or some postgraduate employment. You have the tools and resources you need to explore the notion of developing your OWN ideas and even starting and running your own company while at UW-Madison. Physicists and hardware makers have a special role to play. Let's get started.
