Creative Entrepreneurship was born out of the desire, want, and curiosity of kbs' staff to understand the crazy world of entrepreneurship. Creative Entrepreneurship curates the perspectives of leading entrepreneurs and venture capitalists as a guide for people interested in learning more. Each writer graciously contributed their work to create a curated resource for creative entrepreneurs. This book is the teaching and inspirational aid for our kbs+ Ventures Fellows - a highly selective group of kbs+ staffers from all levels and areas of the agency - who go through a six month educational program to immerse themselves in the startup and venture capital world.
