Celebrating student entrepreneurs with a Google Youth Entrepreneurship Panel
October 8th, 2012 | Published in Google Student Blog
Entrepreneurship is at the heart of Google, tracing all the way back to the early days of the company when Larry and Sergey worked out of a garage in Menlo Park in 1998. Today, we have preserved much of the startup culture that gave birth to Google. In particular, Googlers have a strong entrepreneurial drive and many of them come from entrepreneurial backgrounds.
September 24 - 27, 2012 was Google For Entrepreneurs Week where we shared our love and and support of entrepreneurs around the globe. As part of this initiative, Google offices in 12 different countries engaged in community outreach with entrepreneurs in their area.
To support the next generation of entrepreneurs, we hosted a Youth Entrepreneurship Panel Discussion with 3 Googlers who have serial entrepreneurship experiences. Googlers Dave Brown, Neil Shankman, and Perihan Abou-Zeid spent an hour with us to discuss the ingredients of a successful startup and share their advice with other aspiring entrepreneurs.
In the first half of the discussion, we talked about getting started as an entrepreneur, financing options, and how to build a great team. In the second half, we took viewer questions from Twitter and Google+, using the hashtag #g4estudents. Students from all over the globe tuned in to watch the discussion. If you’ve ever dreamed of starting your own business, you won’t want to miss this video.
