When To Say When -- Getting Off The Science Crazy Train
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about the Entrepreneurship + Innovation = Jobs with Whitesides.
ReplyDeleteCoupled with a slight strangeness of a pair of life-long academics discussing job creation, the missing thing from that equation is money, which is harder and harder to come by for start-ups...
The key takeaway from the entrepreneurship roundtable for me was the Boulder Scientific exec saying that they wouldn't be able to start up in today's regulatory environment. There's a lot of red tape involved in starting up a company. I wish they'd be a bit more specific about what changes they'd like to have made.
