If you had five dollars and two hours, what would you do to make as much money as possible? In this clip, STVP Executive Director Tina Seelig recalls a classroom exercise in creative thinking and entrepreneurship that posed this quandary to student teams. The results were manifold and varied, often taking advantage of locally needed services, niche markets, and valuable time. These in-class experiments contain many valuable lessons on creative thinking in the start-up realm, including skills, ideas, and innovation as assets that always lend value.
[Editor’s Note: I saw this video up over at Venturebeat being discussed earlier today, and Tina’s a contributor here, so I figured I’d port this post over from her channel on Stanford’s eCorner.
This is a fascinating watch, and easily worth the time it takes to watch it. After watching this video, you should never have an excuse for there being no cash in your pockets again. –mrh]
