Ask an Entrepreneur!


ask-an-entrepreneurAs you will read in this edition of the CSUF Entrepreneurship Insider, we are launching Ask an Entrepreneur! We hope that this will become a great way to answer questions that many people in our community have and that these answers will help people become better entrepreneurs.

One trait I frequently witness in the entrepreneurs I work with is that they are curious. They want to understand the “why” of things and while they do not question everything (because that would be exhausting!) they do not shy away from asking questions.

That is why I am happy to announce “Ask an Entrepreneur!” Ask an Entrepreneur! is your chance to ask our Entrepreneurs in Residence (these are our mentors and startup experts) questions about anything business-related. Maybe you want to know the best way to market your new product or how to deal with a capable but under-performing new hire. Or maybe you are curious about what one of our Entrepreneurs in Residence thinks about a particular niche you’ve been researching. The sky is the limit.

Our goal with Ask an Entrepreneur! is to publish an answer to at least one question a week either in a written article or video and that these answers prove to be valuable to the CSUF Entrepreneur community at large.

If you have any questions, please go to the Ask an Entrepreneur! form and submit your questions. We look forward to answering your questions soon!

Sincerely,

John Bradley Jackson
Director, CSUF Center for Entrepreneurship
& CSUF Startup Incubator
