Entrepreneurship Practice…
Every citizen should care about entrepreneurs. They create half of all new jobs. They are a leading source of innovation. And, they do it on a shoestring – with less than 10%
of the capital deployed by large cap companies.
Entrepreneurial energy created an economic miracle which is often taken for granted – Adam Smith’s miracle of the market so eloquently described by Leonard Read in I, Pencil.
In Praise of Risk makes a case for designating entrepreneurship as America’s “JOB ONE.” New challenges make the job more important than ever before – and, more complex. A lone operator in a garage no longer suffices – today’s “garage” must hold a team.
Recent immigrants provide much of America’s entrepreneurial energy. Teton Sands specializes in nurturing that energy and channeling it into venues with value creation potential.
We proactively seek out top students from leading universities to sit at the table as crucial formative decisions are made and “rub shoulders” with experienced managers. A project at Tianjin Medical University, for example, gave Teton clients access to a thousand top ranked students representing China's next generation of medical professionals – and to their extended families.
Alumni are found worldwide in responsible positions within most industries.
