- Part of 2010 Conference on Entrepreneurship.
What things typically trip up an entrepreneur in starting and running a company? Is it getting the right business partner? Is it having the killer technology? How does one recover from major setbacks? A panel of seasoned entrepreneurs, angels, venture capitalists, and board members discuss the common pitfalls most new entrepreneurs encounter when building their businesses.

I love what one of the participants said: "Something's broken that you wanna fix, or because something doesn't exist that you think should exist." Most old-school business people talk about how there MUST be a PROBLEM to solve for there to be a business! Wrong. It doesn't need to be a problem to solve in order to create a business. An opportunity in not necessarily the same thing as solving a problem.
Yes. And that mean we need to stop to make life better and just wait to find problems..
The video never really talks about mistakes made by entrepreneurs, which is a pity, but that doesn't stop this being one of the best hour's worth of video you'll ever watch if you're a start up or considering launching one.
I love many things in this conference. I went through so many tough moments that I guess I relate easily to all these experiences. I particularly like what the guy says around 0:27 0:28, when there is nobody left around you.
This is packed full of great advice, thanks for being honest. I have had a black day and am glad that is to be expected. Keep moving forward !
Long video but well worth the watch. It's not being an entrepreneur but we're trying to help one small business at a time.
This video hits so many topics on point. Very motivational video. Thanks for uploading.
Four very compelling people. A fantastic panel.
Do you know their names?
This IS my dream. I am working hard to achieve it and its starting to pay off... Best of luck to all in your projects.
Why does Stanford GSB block comments on so many videos? With such great content, the comments section is ripe for some great intellectual discussion.....
This is honestly so fucking sad, the lost comments on all those videos! This needs way more attention! At least unlock videos after a certain time.
27:20 "the only rational thing is to throw in the towel.Everyone around me told me that that was going to be the case.But what made me not throw in the towel was that I realized that if I threw in the towel now I will never be able to forgive myself.I will always asking myself "What if I hadn't thrown in the towel?".
So I decided I am going all the way to the absolute point where there is no hope whatsoever that this is going to be successful. THEN I know for sure I've done everthing that I can"
One of the greatest video that should be watched by entrepreneurs
These are great interviews! I think these presentations are the best part of entrepreneurship classes.
The title could have been for SEO purposes. The most valuable part is @ 40:23 IMO
so what are the mistakes?
I really enjoyed this presentation. The title is a bit of a misnomer, but the material covered was well worth the listen. It's interesting to compare the way the various panelists speak about business as compared with educators. Experience makes a difference.
As a budding entrepreneur, this video offers great encouragement and advice. Thanks.
This is the real deal. Wish I had found this channel sooner!
@TuNuevoNegocio 1) do it in your mind first 2) Market research is your best friend. 3)let people define your products and it time/cost/quality.
What a great discussion, im inspired by what has been shared here. Thanks Stanford for business for posting this video!
Wish all business entrepreneurs new about these mistakes.
Thank you very much.
This is a great contribution to "Escape Poverty", hill tribe entrepreneurial club.
I appreciated the different perceptions and experiences....This particular video opened my mind to the possibility of success even with different points of views and attributes. At the core though, remained certain aspects that seemed to be generally agreed on as necessary in the entrepreneurial process. This was Good.
this is what i'm looking for..thank you so much for this upload..such a valuable post..!!
"Most of people say entrepreneurship it's about changing THE world but I think it's about changing YOUR world."

@legcaybegins I'm also looking for people who have the "hunger" - we should connect. From what I have learned, an entrepreneur's network is the #1 factor in success.

Becoming an entrepreneur is all about perceived risk. If you find that the value of the security of a guaranteed job is lower than the price differential created by the value you attribute to the firm versus the wage you receive, then you should be starting your own company. Because a company can only hire you if the value you bring to the firm is higher than the wage you receive. For some, they're okay with that. For entrepreneurs, starting a company is the only logical thing to do.
An hour well invested. :)

Great.
