Think Like an Entrepreneur

As entrepreneur, author and MIT Professor Bill Aulet has said, “Entrepreneurship is much, much bigger than just startups … We need entrepreneurs everywhere.”

From small companies to large, from non-profits to government, the world needs leaders who know how to think like entrepreneurs. When conditions are challenging, entrepreneurially-minded individuals see the potential. When problems arise, they seek solutions. And when setbacks occur, they are resilient.

Pictured at The Pitch competition are Patrick Gatterman, SBDC director; Timothy McKeough, business consultant and coach; Alex Suscha, business administration student and fellow competitor; Densow; Jackson Burgau, SBDC business consultant; Reed Stratton, associate professor of business; and Kevin Neuman, head of Sentry School of Business and Economics.
