Entrepreneurs as Celebrities
Posted on | November 13, 2009 | No Comments
Srimana Mitra just wrote an article for Fortune about how entrepreneurial activity is increasing in India but it could grow faster if entrepreneurs were portrayed better by the media. I couldn’t have come up with a better description for what we’re trying to accomplish with GeekStack than the following quote:
“In Silicon Valley, Steve Jobs is one such household name. If he sneezes, the media reports on it. As a result, hundreds, possibly thousands, of entrepreneurs have looked up to him and found inspiration.
Many other entrepreneur heroes have emerged in Silicon Valley and across America, and their stories have traveled far and wide. The media has celebrated them, and to a very large extent, all these stories–not only billionaires like Jobs, Bill Gates, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Tom Siebel or Larry Ellison, but also numerous smaller successes–have helped create the culture that we enjoy here. This culture forgives failure, focusing not on the defeat, but celebrating the attempt.”
