The Coyote Blog describes the difficulty of being an entrepreneur in the state of Michigan – “they simply don’t understand even the fundamentals of business”. Cambridge Enterprise are running The HORIZON Seminar: The Thinking Machine, taking place at Emmanuel College on Tuesday 18 March, will explore cross-disciplinary research currently taking place in cognisance and cognitive systems and will showcase the latest innovative technologies being developed by renowned academics from across the University of Cambridge.
Not so long ago, everyone was welcome at Cambridge Enterprise events, but now it is by invitation only. There is no booking form available. Sure you want to get a good crowd but these events should be open to all- you never know who is going to make the crucial connection in a cluster.
Martin Varsavsky admits to being a perennial amateur. But look at the companies he has started and in which he is an investor; Fon, Via@tel, Jazztel, Xing and another eighteen. Would have have been invited in those crucial early days of his career? You can always go to Stanford who operate an Open Door policy and you might meet Guy Kawasaki but you need to be quick as it is Entrepreneurship week now.
