Banking on Success

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012

Special thanks to Jason Henrichs COO of Perkstreet Financial for coming out to speak to us last night! Jason told us that all of our ideas sucked. Why, you ask? Because ideas alone are worthless. Without action, no progress is made. Jason stressed the fact that too many entrepreneurs fall in love with their idea, and often forget the road that must be taken to turn that into a reality.

A huge thanks to Ryan Durkin, the COO of CampusLive for speaking to us last night! Ryan discussed the lessons he learned as an entrepreneur and stressed the importance of hard work and perseverance. It is difficult to work in a start up (nearly all employees lost their girlfriends) but it truly pays off.

Tapping into Success

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011

Thanks to Dave Bisceglia of The Tap Lab for coming out to speak out our last get together of the semester! Dave, a recent BU graduate, gave us a great look into the world of freshly stepping into the start-up scene in Boston. Dave stressed the importance of building a company, and talking about the future plans as if they’re “on the horizon.”

A special thanks to everybody who took part in our programs or get togethers this semester. This semester has been nothing but a great success, and it’s all due to the effort and dedication of our exec board, and the passion that our members show whenever we see them.
