Entrepreneurship

We met 4 young entrepreneurs in the average age of 20, all of them created already one start-up: Thibaud, Jason, Nikita and Sagar. Thibaud, coming from France, created a solution based on what he faced which was that most of the members of his family are deaf. Before that, he worked 4 years in a start-up and did a Master program. Jason, from Trinidad and Tobago experienced failure but learned a lot from it. He had imagined an anonymous platform of discussion between students and teachers. Nikita, an American, has already created 2 start-ups, one called “Five.com” and the other one “Politify” which is a software that predicts future revenues based on the elected Presidents. Finally, Sagar originally from India invented 2 start-ups “Campus Cred” where you can find every day a new product at a special price and “Quad” a shared students’ calendar based on the syllabus of all courses with reminders for assignments.

We had an open discussion between this 4 entrepreneurs and Ken Singer, Managing Director of the Fung institute for engineering leadership and teacher at Berkeley University.

They gave us precious advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur:

How to start

 

 

How to gain experience

 

 

How to benefit from others

 

The general feedback here is that most of the people who come in the Silicon Valley are driven by passion, they want to change the world and be part of those who change it.
