Roundtable Discussion on Entrepreneurship in Venezuela

This year, CWRU Professor Michael Goldberg recruited a special cohort of Venezuelans to participate in his Beyond Silicon Valley course starting at the end of August 2019. Join us for a roundtable discussion with our CWRU and Venezuelan students (via Zoom) as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week Northeast Ohio. We will discuss key learnings from our experience in Cleveland supporting startups and how this might be applied to the situation in Venezuela.  

Background:
In 2018, Professor Goldberg organized a cohort in 2018 of Syrians to take Beyond Silicon Valley alongside a group of his CWRU students. The joint class of Syrian and CWRU students focused on making recommendations for how the Syrian entrepreneurial ecosystem could more effectively provide support to startups post-conflict.  The students made recommendations to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and you can see a short video on the collaboration here. 

Professor Goldberg launched Beyond Silicon Valley on Coursera in April 2014 and it has attracted over 175,000 students from 190 countries over the past 5 years. Beyond Silicon Valley has been translated into 16 languages including Spanish.
