Last week I had the pleasure of speaking to this year’s MBET class from the University of Waterloo. The MBET program fascinates me - it’s a Masters in Business, Entrepreneurship and Technology - very cool and very applicable; graduates have been known to start companies while they are still in the program.
One of the […]
