EntrepreneurshipThe best way to learn about entrepreneurship is to learn from the
experiences of people who have started businesses.Your assignment is to interview an
entrepreneur who has either succeeded or failed and find out the key lessons their
experience can teach you.You should select an entrepreneur who started a business and
obtained some form of outside financing (not self-financed / bootstrapped). Ideally, you
select an entrepreneur that grew the business to at least $500k in annual revenue. You may
interview Georgia Tech alumni, but students and direct family members are not
permitted.You will prepare an article from your interview for upload. Use what you have
learned in this class as a framework for perspectives and insights – and focus on the early
years of the business. You will be graded on the quality of the article, insights, and key
learnings. Some of the questions you’ll be looking to answer in your interview and blog
might include:Describe the entrepreneur and the businessWhy did they start the
business?What made them think the business would be feasible / successful?What personal
tradeoffs did the entrepreneur have to make to start the business?How was the business
