Session 2: The Entrepreneurial Journey
Many researchers and scientists create ground-breaking technologies every day, but very few turn those technologies into meaningful products, or change their careers to end up running their own companies. What are the keys to changing from a top scientist to a top entrepreneur. What does it mean to start a Company for a founder? What is required of a founder in terms of building a team, growing a Company and putting structures in place, backed by investors? Is this for me?
IESE Business School works closely with scientist-founder startups to help scientists transition to executive roles in their own companies, including CEO, CIO and CTO. I will share some of our lessons learned from working with founders and building startup teams. I will also give you some lessons learned from other founders on things that have worked, and things that haven’t.
