Lecture series- 10/6

 The Whiting-Turner Business and 

Entrepreneurial Lecture Series 

through the

 A. James Clark School of Engineering

 

This series brings leading technology enterprise thinkers to campus- men and women from large, established companies or small and promising start-ups, who deal with the real-world challenges of a fast-paced, global economy. In their lectures and question-and-answer sessions, they share their insights and experiences, their "war stories" and predictions, inspiring audience members to apply new ideas and approaches in their current or future careers. This event is open to the public.

 

When?

Thursday, October 6th

5:00 pm

 

Where?

1110 Kim Building

 

Ramit Varma is co-CEO and co-founder of Revolution Prep, one of the leading educational services and technology companies in America, and will be the keynote speaker at this event. The following is an abstract of his presentation:

 

"Bootstrapping a company is probably the riskiest way to go about starting a business - but ultimately the most rewarding.  Managing and building a business as it moves from a cash flow focus to an equity generation focus is a long path and one with many potential missteps along the way. In this lecture, Revolution Prep co-founder Ramit Varma will provide his insights on what works - and just as importantly what doesn't work - when building a business in this fashion."
