Five Bucks, Paperclips, and Wallets--Riding the Stanford Entrepreneurial Crest



This week, under our Business Networking theme, we checked out several Stanford University videos featuring Prof. Tina Seelig (Hey, we're famous! See the newspaper clip above!). The first clip showcases her sharing of entrepreneurship and innovation principles and experiences at the Entrepreneurship Boot Camp:




The second clip features the Wallet Exercise, which we executed in class today:



If you like what you saw, remember the Global Innovation Tournament? Here's an entry, featuring not paperclips or rubberbands or $5, but ... water bottles:



And, congratulations to the three teams that came up with exciting business plans that filled the white board and an afternoon of lively discussion (thanks to Teacher Ethel for the picture!):



We also saw some incredible wallets, but who's got the pictures of those? Please post!

Keep working together on business ideas, and I hope to see your ideas fly out of our LINC business incubator! Better yet, who will carry a sign at a street corner on Sheppard and Victoria Park that says, "LINC Students for Sale--Buy One Get Three Free!"?
