VCU businesses BoardGrab, UpChurch Chocolate, 8:00 AM, and more were featured in an article on WVTF recently, and it’s all about their entrepreneurial mindset.
“It’s Thursday night, and for young entrepreneurs at VCU that means three hours at Founder’s Corner – a brightly colored studio in the student center where faculty members and executives like Nicole Monk coach those who want to launch their own business. Some of the ideas are offbeat, but Monk never says no.‘Sometimes the quirkiest of them are the best ideas, and no matter how crazy the idea seems or if I think it’s a bad idea, that just means I’m not the customer’ Instead, she teaches them to think like an entrepreneur.”Venture Creation University
