What are the keys to converting an idea into a successful venture? Serial entrepreneur and entrepreneurship professor Danny Warshay will discuss his entrepreneurial journey, and how he successfully launched his ventures and helped many others with the process. He will draw on his structured approach to teaching entrepreneurship at Brown and around the world to explore the use of "bottom up" research; the fit among the key components of people, opportunity, context, and deal (POCD); and the fundamental elements of value propositions and business models.
