Entremaneur - Startup Satire
Learn From (or laugh at) Others Mistakes
This lens is for people who want to learn about the trials and tribulations of entrepreneurship. Maybe you'd even like to share their own stories, about funny, bad, or embarassing entrepreneurial experiences, failures, or just plain dumb ideas you've seen that somehow made it past the "idea stage".
Let Others Learn from (or laugh at) Your Mistakes
Or, if you're an entrepreneur (or wanting to become one), tell us about some horrible entrepreneurial advice you've received from someone else. Hopefully we can all learn something...
I plan to update often, so check back often. Let's hear about all the entrepreneurial tomfoolery, all the shananigans, and all the ballyhoo out their in the world.
This lens is also part of the Business Lenses Group. If you have something important to contribute to current or budding entrepreneurs, ask to join. We'd love to have you!
Thanks! And please post comments for improvement, this lens is still in startup phase itself....
Thanks,
Jon
