ACORN:
Entrepreneurial Narrative and History

Edited by William B. Gartner

About the Book

In order to learn how the entrepreneurial imagination works, it is important to study the stories that entrepreneurs tell about how they turned their ideas into businesses.

ACORN is an ongoing effort of the Spiro Institute for Entrepreneurial Leadership to publish interviews of entrepreneurs telling their stories about the creation of their businesses. Not only do these interviews offer insights into the specific activities of how ventures are created, but they also demonstrate some of the thought processes involved in venture creation. This first volume is focuses on entrepreneurs who have started businesses based around new technologies at Clemson University.
