Thread: Stanford University's Entrepreneurship Corner

Stanford University's Entrepreneurship Corner looks pretty darned cool.

It's a free collection of over 1600 videos and podcasts on entrepreneurship, from a pretty well edjumicated group of presenters.

Check it out!

Good stuff, Will. They are divided into small video segments of a few minutes each which is quite convenient.

That made me laugh -- it's education for the YouTube generation.

For us old folks, there are the Audio/Video Courses at MIT OpenCourseware.

It surprises me that this needs to be taught in America in a University. Are there no Henry Fords or Bill Gates like characters working away in their basements/bedrooms/garages anymore?

I believe that you need many years of childhood influence to make you entrepreneurial, I am skeptical that you can take a previously non-entrepreneurial college student and turn them around via some lectures. But inspire them for sure.

Hmm dunno.

Maybe if you didn't feed them.

There was a tiny bit of sarcasm hidden in my comment, but I didn't expect anyone to pick it up

That link reminded me of my old college days when I used to listen to the lectures online and ran them at 1.5-2x speed for the really boring courses
