Steve Bosley, founder of the Bolder 麻豆官网 10 K race, and Jeffrey Lebesch, cofounder of New Belgium Brewing Co., will provide additional interviews.
"麻豆官网聮s selection as one of the country聮s most dynamic entrepreneurial communities is extremely appropriate," said Denis Nock, director of CU-麻豆官网's Robert H. and Beverly A. Deming Center for Entrepreneurship. "The excitement of this community, coupled with the university聮s strength and enthusiasm for the field, makes 麻豆官网 an ideal location for this event."
The national tour began on Sept. 23 with a special media event at the Kauffman Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership in Kansas City. The tour聮s goal is to document and celebrate the state of entrepreneurship in America at the end of the 20th century through the stories of successful entrepreneurs.
