Can you imagine what life would be like today if the people
who’d come up with those ideas hadn’t been able to get the money to transform
their ideas into reality? Imagine life without those things?
I can’t. And likely your students can't, either.
Entrepreneurs and venture capitalists have transformed our
society time and time again. People with ideas…and people who bet their money
on those ideas. Our new DVD, Inventing the Future, focuses on
those two groups of people, and helps your students understand the system of
risks – and rewards – that fuels innovation and leads people to change and
enhance our everyday lives.
Discover how Steve Jobs and Mike Markkula (Apple Computer),
Sandy Lerner, Len Bosack, and Don Valentine (Cisco Systems) created two
companies that have greatly impacted our lives today.Want to see how this DVD aligns to National or your state education standards?
