About the talk: We tend to romanticize tech entrepreneurship, promoting myths of unique visionary founders who see the future and then move heaven and earth to make it happen. In reality, entrepreneurship usually involves several pivots, lots of pitfalls, and a good dose of luck. Fortunately, entrepreneurship can be done by anyone, and is something that one can better at with practice and through study. This talk aims to demystify entrepreneurship as a profession and discuss some of the ways entrepreneurs can improve their chances for success.
