Entreprenuer Case Studies

You have read many of my interviews on this blog. Here’s a synthesis of some of the case studies I have done, in an interview format. These differ slightly from the series that I have titled Role Model Interviews, since in this series, I go into the company and its strategy, market, financing, etc. in more detail, and focus somewhat less on the personal history of the entrepreneur. Nonetheless, these stories are just as enlightening as the others.

This series will continue, and I hope you will continue to benefit from the experience of other entrepreneurs who are in the midst of building exciting new businesses.

Meanwhile, here’s an exercise that you can assign yourself. Take one or more of the above cases, and “dissect” it, using the “Clarify your Story” questions, and see what you learn from the process! [If you’re doing an Enterprise/SME facing venture, use this worksheet instead.]
