The Second orientation session focused on opportunity and networking. The opportunity portion was directed by mentor Bob Morrison and accompanied by a power point presentation. The presentation's highlights can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/dk9cvs This website was built by program mentor Jim Jindrick in order to provide entrepreneurs with start up information and help.
The networking portion of the orientation was an open forum meet and great for potential team members to meet one another. I focused on finding people who's task 1 and task 2 showed strength. Al Yang, a 3rd semester finance student, appears to be a great teammate. I hope to build a team of diverse majors and skill sets; however, I continue to find myself most attracted to other finance majors. I am also looking for teammates with a great deal of experience outside of school. There is one student who owns a local restaurant who I would like to speak with.
Task 3 is due in a few days (April 5th, 2009). The task is the first opportunity for people to show their visions and ideas. The task requires students to post a description of potential venture opportunities they have identified, or would like to identify. The opportunities should theoretically fit the description of opportunity given by Bob Morrison at the beginning of the session.
I'll post my Task 3 as soon as it is done.
