SUMMARY:Entrepreneurship & Innovation in the AI Era
DESCRIPTION:Entrepreneurship & Innovation in the AI Era\nBy Steven Hoffman (Captain Hoff) \nChairman & CEO of Founders Space \nIf you’re an entrepreneur\, this lecture will be invaluable. Steve Hoffman (Captain Hoff) will share with you how the most successful startup founders in Silicon Valley think\, act\, and execute their business strategies while avoiding the pitfalls that sink most young companies.  \nThe fact is that most new business ventures fail.
