Erika has a knack for what Peter Burns calls “1 + 1 = infinity” thinking. She has crafted numerous marketing strategies in which she examines a market, sets her own needs aside and orchestrates a promotion between other participants in the space effectively getting them to subsidize her own promotion (which is absolutely genius). Many thanks to Erika for sharing and we wish her luck in her roll-out of her new fulfillment initiative.

As part of this he talks about the University Entrepreneurs fund. This fund was first created last year as a $1 million venture capital fund for student entrepreneurs. Now Peter is looking to push it to $250 million and take it to a national level. Students from the Entrepreneurship program at any of the universities where the Institute for Entrepreneurship provides their program are eligible. From those programs, the best prospects can receive seed funding to get their projects off the ground. If I were still a student I’d be pretty damn excited about this program.
