Last week I had the privilege of joining Dr. Kristine Medyanik’s business majors for their senior capstone at Corban University.
As students presented thoughtful business plans, we unpacked the invisible layer a lot of start-ups underestimate: how regulatory exposure can strengthen or destabilize an otherwise sound business model.
It was a class of almost 50 students, which was intense. The class started at 7 p.m. and went well past 9 p.m. Which makes me even more grateful for educators like Dr. Medyanik who do this every week. I tell you what, but it’s not for the faint of heart.
I did get a chance to meet with every group, and help stress-test their theories against the actual market realities. I left feeling good, because the next generation of entrepreneurs are asking smart questions and leading with innovation.
If you were launching a company today, what policy issue would concern you most?
