Time always seem to pass more quickly when your having fun. These past few weeks spent interning at Spectrum Bridge and with TEC have come and gone faster than I expected. I want to start by thanking everyone at True Ventures for an amazing opportunity. I have gain valuable information that you cannot pay for, learn from a professor or even read in a textbook. The experience with TEC was more than I hoped for. I’ve learned that in the world of entrepreneurship and growing a start up business, every idea is a good idea. Even failure will lead to success. There are red roads and white roads you can travel down, but be advised the road is less bumpy if you have a great capitalist on your side. The most enjoyable part of TEC I would say is having the opportunity to meet and listen to all of the great speakers whom shared their advice and encouragement. The best time to chase your dreams is now or never. If we want to follow in the footsteps of these successful entrepreneurs, we must be driven to not only follow but lead. From listening to all the great ideas each individual presented for the company that they are interning for and their own ideas that they have for their own start up one day, are all worth pursuing. I wish everyone from the TEC class of 2010 all the best and much success!
