1. One business that has been created is Y Combinator, it provides seed funding, mentorship, and resources to early-stage startups for people. Another is Kauffman Foundation, promoting entrepreneurship and advancing education in the field. The third one is Shopify; this is an e-commerce platform that can help entrepreneurs set up and manage their online stores. The fourth one is SCORE, provides free mentoring and resources to small business owners and entrepreneurs. The last one is LinkedIn; this has played a crucial role in supporting entrepreneurship by providing a platform for professionals to connect with people and collaborate.
2. My overall perspective on the entrepreneurship experience is that it is great to learn this. This has taught me to think outside of the box more with ways of being successful and adding new attributes to myself in the real world. A entrepreneur is something that everyone should want to have a little bit of that inside of themselves to being able to make it in the world. This experience has given me a positive impact overall and I have already started to do some things outside of the class.
3. The entrepreneurship prepared me to be a competitive candidature for vacant positions. Some ways that it has is by problem solving abilities. It has helped me face various issues in the course of building and growing a business with a creative approach. That is something many do not go through sometimes. Another way this has helped me is by networking and relationship building which is very important. You have to know how to be able to speak to someone based on your knowledge and experience you have for the position you are going for.
4. I do not have many suggestions on improving the experience. Overall, I think this was a great experience to have and put time into. It gave me every aspect that was needed to start thinking as a entrepreneur would do within the real world.
5. What is next for me is graduating this month and being done with school for now. I do want to come back and get my master’s degree one day but for now I am in my first IT job at the moment already and I am going to focus in on that. I will be studying and getting certain certifications that can help me be ahead of others. I also am teaching myself certain things online by myself to learn as fast as possible.
