UMBC held a Summer Institute that was sponsored by the Kauffman Foundation. The purpose of the event was to train UMBC professors how to infuse entrepreneurship into their courses irrespective of the discipline of study. The lecture began by describing how top universities teach entrepreneurship in its purest form and ends with how an entrepreneurial infusion might take place.

TieCon 2009
May 15, 2009
Berkeley EWMBA295a
2007-2009
|
This presentation was in request to give a talk about networking:
specifically purpose driven networking where there is a result. For
example, networking with VCs in order to get a meeting, or networking
for a job. The talk focused on a simple means of effective purpose
driven networking and was perhaps a timely discussion as many attendees
fof TieCon 2009 were looking to transition into new jobs. It is also a common talk Michael gives to entrepreneurship student at Berkeley. After students sacrifice blood, sweat and tears to complete their business plans, this is the lecture that drives home the point that the business plan may not matter if you can't get the meeting!
