Sirolli’s conclusion at the end regarding the challenge of combining a product, marketing and financial skills – never in one person and rarely in one place (and commented on by someone on the ted site)

Many groups have already discussed their project and you are all well along towards the final report and presentation.
I thought at this point you might enjoy something different. This presentation covers a wide range of items but I found it quite interesting to consider the talk from the perspectives of :
a. the interaction of our groups (lending assistance) with the Capstone companies (the entrepreneurs). b. Sirolli’s conclusion at the end regarding the challenge of combining a product, marketing and financial skills – never in one person and rarely in one place (and commented on by someone on the TED site)
c. How some of the captone companies might want to consider their interaction or view of their “customers” For discussion > Please view this 17 min presentation and post any thought you have related to projects or the companies we have explored this semester – in relation to topics covered in :
