ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Alumni Entrepreneurs“My experiences at Georgetown have maximized my education in countless areas, both in the class-room and in the business world. The startup companies that we

have met with have been amazing! We have been given countless networking opportunities and formed relationships that will be very beneficial moving forward.” ―CLAIRE MILLER JAFFEE (B ’18)

“The Entrepreneurship Fellows Program taught me the skills to become a better entrepre-neur and, more importantly, introduced me to the many amazing, talented, and generous women and men in the D.C. tech and Georgetown entrepreneurship communities. It was through them that I was able to cut my teeth on entrepreneurship and ultimately pursue my startup, Riide, full time after graduation.” ―JEFF STEFANIS (B ’13), Co-founder and CEO, Riide

“Whether you’re thinking about becoming an entrepreneur or are already working on a venture, the Georgetown Entrepreneurship Initiative has the perfect mix of opportunities. College classes can seem a little theoretical sometimes, but programs like the business pitch competi-tion and the Entrepreneurship Fellows Program gave me a chance to put my ideas into prac-tice, talk to customers, network with other like-minded students, and learn from some amazing mentors you can’t find anywhere else.” ―JAMES LI (B ’13), Co-founder and CEO, Encore Alert

“As an undergrad at Georgetown, I had unparalleled access to successful entrepreneurs who were more than willing to offer advice and provide feedback. I was able to learn from young alumni who started their own companies and who were always available for guidance.” ―LUISA SANTOS (C ’14), Founder, Lulu’s Ice Cream

ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Alumni Entrepreneurs“My experiences at Georgetown have maximized my education in countless areas, both in the class-room and in the business world. The startup companies that we

have met with have been amazing! We have been given countless networking opportunities and formed relationships that will be very beneficial moving forward.” ―CLAIRE MILLER JAFFEE (B ’18)

“The Entrepreneurship Fellows Program taught me the skills to become a better entrepre-neur and, more importantly, introduced me to the many amazing, talented, and generous women and men in the D.C. tech and Georgetown entrepreneurship communities. It was through them that I was able to cut my teeth on entrepreneurship and ultimately pursue my startup, Riide, full time after graduation.” ―JEFF STEFANIS (B ’13), Co-founder and CEO, Riide

“Whether you’re thinking about becoming an entrepreneur or are already working on a venture, the Georgetown Entrepreneurship Initiative has the perfect mix of opportunities. College classes can seem a little theoretical sometimes, but programs like the business pitch competi-tion and the Entrepreneurship Fellows Program gave me a chance to put my ideas into prac-tice, talk to customers, network with other like-minded students, and learn from some amazing mentors you can’t find anywhere else.” ―JAMES LI (B ’13), Co-founder and CEO, Encore Alert

“As an undergrad at Georgetown, I had unparalleled access to successful entrepreneurs who were more than willing to offer advice and provide feedback. I was able to learn from young alumni who started their own companies and who were always available for guidance.” ―LUISA SANTOS (C ’14), Founder, Lulu’s Ice Cream

What makes an entrepreneur tick? Can everyone be an entrepreneur? What are the virtues of an entrepreneur? What does it take to encourage entrepreneurship in a modern economy? What are some of the moral challenges entrepreneurs face? How do they, and how should they, meet these challenges? Students learn how entrepreneurs are the main agents of change in a modern, global economy and confront the responsibilities that come with being such agents.
