This might be when they have identified a compelling idea, it might be when a colleague starts a business and needs their expertise for the founding team, or it could be the result of an economic shift. The course discusses what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur or a member of a founding entrepreneurial team. It looks at the different contributions of technology, risk-taking, customer interactions, management, and fundraising.
