Inspired by the Technology Readiness Level, the KTH IRL covers six dimensions; Customer, Technology. Team, Business Model, Funding and Intellectual Property and it has recently been updated with sustainability throughout all the dimensions. The KTH IRL is already being used by most Swedish incubators, universities and government funding organizations, and is now also spreading internationally at a very rapid pace with over 800 downloads to date. The framework is released under a creative commons license to promote a global common language for early-stage innovation support. In this session two international users; Imperial College in London and DTU, Denmark will be sharing their experience and thoughts on the framework. Entrepreneurship Education: Beyond the Business School 2nd Floor Room 205 Buffs with a Brand 2.0: Learnings from the Pilot Years of a FirstOf-Its-Kind Entrepreneurial Program for Student Athletes Using Name, Image, and Likeness Erick Mueller, University of Colorado Michael Goldberg, Case Western Reserve University Come learn about entrepreneurship programs leveraging the new Name-Image-Likeness legislation for student-athletes at the University of Colorado (Division 1) and Case Western Reserve University (Division 3). Since its inception in 2020 with two cohorts of student-athletes, CU has drastically innovated on the program. This session will focus on building an entrepreneurial program for student athletes wanting to capitalize on their brand, plus highlight operating challenges and successes faced by a firstof-its-kind program. Participants will learn how the program grew from 25 student-athletes to nearly 200 or 85% of the CU student-athlete population. At Case Western Reserve University, 15 student athletes participated in a NIL workshop which was a partnership between the Veale Institute for Entrepreneurship, the CWRU Department of Athletics and a local nonprofit called the Cleveland Central Kitchen. Student athletes were paired with local Cleveland food entrepreneurs to learn how to pitch their products. Several CWRU student athletes signed NIL deals after participating in the workshop.

Every entrepreneur will eventually need to go down their own path and it is impossible to give them a roadmap for everything that is ahead of them. However, we can equip them with the skills, mindsets, and tools that will form the foundation of their entrepreneurial careers. What we can do is help formulate the habits that will set them apart from everyone else and position them to be resilient in the face of certain adversity. In this panel, we will discuss a variety of ways that we as educators can encourage students to start practicing the key aspects of being entrepreneurs. Connecting each approach to the psychology of how we learn, retain information, and ultimately form habits for success. Entrepreneurship Education 2nd Floor Room 211 Creating a Highly Interdisciplinary Entrepreneurship Minor Joanne Scillitoe, California State University, Northridge Deone Zell, California State University, Northridge The Entrepreneurship Minor at CSUN recently underwent a major revamping to become the most interdisciplinary minor on campus with 71 course options across seven colleges. The minor requires three business classes combined with a selection of three electives from the following colleges: Humanities, Education, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Engineering and Computer Science, Arts Media and Communication, Health and Human Development. This wide selection allows a customizable minor. In this talk, we will discuss the various processes involved to create this highly interdisciplinary minor. Topics will include gaining faculty support, reduction/elimination of pre-requisites, creation of a Gen Ed entrepreneurship course, creation of several new courses, identifying and approving courses to be included across campus, and managing the four layers of the campus-wide administrative approval processes. We will also discuss next steps for the Entrepreneurship Minor at CSUN including data collection and analysis of student entrepreneurial journeys.

Collectively we’ve found a significant link between hours spent with a mentor and eventual entrepreneurial success. Therefore, all our related programming includes milestone-based mentoring – a nontemporal tracking structure which pulls participants along an entrepreneurial pipeline with “carrots”, and establishes a long-term bond between a team and their dedicated Mentor. This panel of representatives from each of our regional partnerships will discuss ecosystem-building topics like: the foundational aspect of structured mentorship, the sharing of resources, finding a niche, providing multiple opportunities to ecosystem participants, and how the partnership structure allows for flexibility while keeping core Lean Startup instruction the same. Other Topics 2nd Floor Room 208A Best Practices in Building an Impactful and Enduring Entrepreneurial Mentor Program in University-Based Innovation Centers. Kimberly Gramm, Tulane University Bob Nelson, Venture Mentoring Team This presentation is based the presenters’ thirty plus years of collective experience in mentoring and building successful mentoring programs and a University of Michigan study that identified significant deficiencies in mentoring programs, including a lack of organizational structure and systems, mentor diversity, mentor training and engagement. The study recommended structured mentor recruitment, careful vetting, creation of a culture of shared values, collaboration, and lifelong learning for heightened impact on start-up success. The presenters will discuss the ways in which they have built mentoring programs to overcome the weaknesses identified in the UM study. They will provide insights and respond to questions regarding launching and maintaining a successful mentoring program with the underpinning of a professional code of conduct, organizational structure, mentor training and a voluntary pay-it-forward pledge that encourages their mentees to consider to help others once they have achieved success in launching sustainable companies.

We nurture an innovative, catalyzing environment that stimulates creativity and innovative problem-solving. Center members brainstorm regularly, creating a vortex of energy that attracts like-minded others to commit to the challenges of bettering lives through cross-sector pollination. The Center’s benefits to the community and to the wider society act in turn as incentives for a new generation of committed entrepreneurs. Bringing in people from both the entrepreneurship and sustainability spheres, SEC tries to serve as a non-threatening collaboration space. Professionals in distinct areas can cross domains to create new ideas, improving their solution capability. Collaboration leads to increased Center energy, and we hope that this energy will be contagious. Sponsor Session 1st Floor Philip J. Cohen Theatre How to “Map What Matters” in Your Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Kevin Cater, EcoMap Technologies Have you ever wondered “who is doing what” to support the startups that you work with every day? Wish there was some way to “map it all out”? In this session, EcoMap’s Kevin Carter will tell the story of how the company started as a student startup seeking to solve this very problem, showcase the platform’s university use cases, and offer some practical tips & tricks to university educators looking to get a better grasp on how to navigate their own ecosystem.

Over the past two years they developed a suite of services including course materials and frameworks for early career academics to leverage their research methods as a foundation for entrepreneurial exploration, and tools to enhance their teaching with entrepreneurial tools and activities. Whether the output becomes a follow-on research opportunity or prepares an academic to bridge their research with industry, the CBS approach enables academics to identify their unique research proposition, find a market and leverage their insights to develop solutions that expand the impact of their research beyond publication. This session will present the journey through program design with specific examples of how this has been leveraged within CBS. Other Topics 2nd Floor Room 211 All You Need to Know if Your School is Interested in Hosting a Future GCEC Conference Michael Morris, Notre Dame University If you might be interested in hosting a future GCEC Conference and bringing hundreds of individuals from other universities to see your campus and your entrepreneurship programs, you should attend this session. Host schools for GCEC have the opportunity to join an elite group of entrepreneurship leaders who are empowering entrepreneurship centers and educators worldwide. GCEC is unique in that the organization believes that by holding annual conferences on host school campuses it can provide host school directors and universities with the chance to showcase their program, bring international exposure to their university and brand their efforts with GCEC. Hosting the annual GCEC brings marketing benefits as well as the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues. Applications to host the 2024 GCEC Conference will open shortly after the conclusion of the 2022.
GCEC 2022 Page 55 Entrepreneurship Tools and Tips: Vendors and Uses 2nd Floor Room 208A STOPS – Simple Task and Objective Planning for Startups Chuck Sacco, Drexel University First-time entrepreneurs, especially those in college, usually do not understand the significance of task and time management, which inhibits their ability to get started and stay organized. While platforms such as Asana, Trello, and Jira are invaluable to ensuring that entrepreneurs manage tasks, none are equipped to tell entrepreneurs how to start and begin organizing their work approach. This problem can be solved with a tool I created called STOPS – Simple Task and Objective Planning for Startups. It is not meant to replace more advanced project management solutions; instead, it’s intended to fill a gap in the front end of the entrepreneurial process, helping entrepreneurs better understand how to get started using a structured task and time category system. Session attendees will learn how to use this tool and will be provided with a free copy for use in their centers. Engaging the Community 2nd Floor Room 222 University Led Accelerators, How to Generate New Revenue Stream and Solve Regional Problems by Leveraging Students, Faculty and Alumni Daniel Lauer, University of Missouri ‒ St. Louis Joan Phillips, University of Missouri ‒ St. Louis; Michael Butler, University of Missouri ‒ St. Louis Co-location tools of urban economic development, such as accelerators and incubators, can facilitate entrepreneurship. Of these tools, accelerators have proliferated in number and variety over the past couple decades. However, growing evidence suggests that these programs are not equally effective, varying in form and function with disparate outcomes. Initial evidence indicates that the effectiveness of accelerators varies by ecosystem features, such as entrepreneurial ecosystem density and university involvement. UMSL Accelerate has piloted a University Powered Accelerator for Corporations, Students and Purpose driven. We leverage assets of paid student interns, engaged faculty and connected alumni to advance economic development. For the purposes of this conversation, we will present on a first of its kind Diversity Equity and Inclusion Accelerator powered by UMSL Accelerate. We will share the problem of underrepresented founders in early-stage capital formation and our best practices model of sponsor funded cash awards of $50,000 followed by an 8-week program cumulating in a community wide demo day. These programs complement the holistic approach of EDUCATE (in class degree) INNOVATE (peer learning) and COLLABORATE (real world experiences) that differentiate the University of Missouri St. Louis.

GCEC 2022 Page 56 Entrepreneurship Education: Beyond the Business School 2nd Floor Room 213 The Playbook – Entrepreneurship and Public Speaking Jeff Varrone, Northern Kentucky University Carly Middleton, Butler University Delivering an outstanding pitch requires strong entrepreneurship and public speaking skills. This workshop will show the power and practicality of integrating entrepreneurship and public speaking content into a singular course. The entrepreneurship and communication disciplines have a lot to offer one another. When combined in an activity-driven course, students will exhibit the entrepreneurship skills of developing perspective, creative-thinking, and problem-solving, as well as the public speaking skills of engaging an audience, conveying emotion, and displaying confidence. Led by entrepreneurship and communication faculty members, this workshop will give participants an innovative perspective on how to empower their students to give outstanding pitches and presentations. Inclusion and Diversity 2nd Floor Room 218 Not by Necessity nor Opportunity: A Third Pathway to the Entrepreneurial Journey LaTanya White, Concept Creative Group While there is much debate about necessity- and opportunity-based entrepreneurship, there exists a third dimensional driver for entrepreneurship that, especially for Black entrepreneurs, is ripe for discussion in this time of crisis. Generativity is practiced through leading, nurturing, promoting, and teaching the next generation and or first-generation Black wealth creators, the inner generative script may produce a latent desire to create dynastic, not generational, wealth. Dynastic Wealth™, a comprehensive approach to wealth building that wraps racial equity in belonging, racial access, and context, presents extensive implications for the redesign of entrepreneurship curricula and business development training. In this session, participants will be engaged in an interactive discussion about the generativity-based approach to the entrepreneurial journey along with its implications for entrepreneurship as a pathway to closing the racial wealth gap. Entrepreneurial Outcomes 2nd Floor Room 219 Addressing Entrepreneurial Failure Marcus Wolfe, University of North Texas Jon McCarry, University of North Texas The purpose of this presentation and discussion is to address the topic of entrepreneurial failure. Given that failure is a prevalent component within entrepreneurship, it is vital that we take a more proactive approach to educating individuals about how to cope with and learn from failure experiences.

It defines what we mean by entrepreneurial skills and shows how enterprise education can be relevant to everyone. In this session we will tell you how the framework was designed, how we have used it to develop innovative programmes, move into the curriculum, improve our impact measurement and level up the student experience. We will also cover how it is being used in research around the Neuroscience of Entrepreneurship and researching the link between Enterprise Education and employability. We have not seen another institution using an entrepreneurial skills framework in this way and want to use this session to demonstrate its success at one of the UK’s leading universities. The Center How, What, Where, Why? 2nd Floor Room 207 Scaling the Entrepreneurial Center with Student Ambassadors Sharon Scannell, Old Dominion University Old Dominion University’s Strome Entrepreneurial Center (SEC) works with students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the surrounding community to foster innovation and entrepreneurship. The SEC offers entrepreneurial events such as speakers, pitch contests, networking, skill building workshops, customer discovery, mentoring, etc. to the entrepreneurial community. With a small staff, the SEC faces the difficult challenge of delivering services to a community that includes over 24,000 students. The Student Ambassador Program was developed to enable the center to both successfully serve a large population and significantly improve student business skills. Student Ambassadors are trained to plan and execute events, design and lead workshops, write, edit and distribute the entrepreneurship newsletter, and most importantly market the services of the SEC to the community through presentations to classes, and community outreach. The presentation will discuss the program, lessons learned in the first year, and plans for the future. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29 30-Minute BREAKOUT SESSIONS 3:25 – 3:55 p.m. / 10 Concurrent Sessions
GCEC 2022 Page 58 Other Topics 2nd Floor Room 205 The Innovation Ecosystem Roadmap… the Path to Commercialization Taysha Williams, Texas Tech University Cameron Smith, Texas Tech University Many times, the path to commercialization is unknown territory for faculty researchers. A roadmap is an essential tool to providing clear direction to navigate the path ahead. The Innovation Hub and its University partners have created the Texas Tech Innovation Ecosystem Commercialization Roadmap to help guide faculty, staff, students, and the community through the process of assessing, commercialization and accelerating their innovations. The Roadmap provides the user with a thorough understanding of how Texas Tech’s “innovation ecosystem” partners with industry and other stakeholders to ensure research makes an impact on individual lives and the well-being of society. The comprehensive roadmap outlines the technical innovation journey and helps each user navigate the path to success. Session attendees will learn how faculty are utilizing this roadmap and how University are working together to navigate them through the innovation pipeline.

GCEC 2022 Page 59 Engaging the Community 2nd Floor Room 218 The Entrepreneurship Center’s “Hidden Curriculum” Abigail Ingram, University of Chicago This interactive session will lead practitioners in applying the sociological concept of the “hidden curriculum,” that is, norms, values, and beliefs taught implicitly in schools, to their teaching of students and community member participants in entrepreneurship centers. After identifying several of the informal and unintentional messages and lessons that students are receiving in entrepreneurship courses, we will encourage participants to evaluate the usefulness of the implicit messages, highlight the most beneficial aspects of this “hidden” curriculum, and ideate how those messages and learnings can be shared with students and community members who are participating in entrepreneurship programs and initiatives outside of academic courses. By isolating the “hidden curriculum,” practitioners can better serve students, alumni, and their broader communities by granting access to the (previously) hidden curriculum of their entrepreneurship courses. Entrepreneurial Mindset 2nd Floor Room 208C Impacting Persistence in STEM through Entrepreneurial Thinking Development for Students in Science Degree Programs at an HBCU Caesar Jackson, North Carolina Central University Dawayne Whittington, Strategic Evaluations, Inc. A Research, Discovery and Innovation (RDI) Summer Institute in a federal grant-funded project at a historically black university, was designed to stimulate entrepreneurial thinking for students in science degree programs while enhancing science students’ development in design and innovation. An experiential learning approach employed focuses on entrepreneurial opportunity identification, idea development, and design execution. Research suggests key indicators of entrepreneurial thinking competencies fall in three broad groupings of skills: Entrepreneurial Skills; Managerial Skills; and Technical Skills. A fourth category comprise personal characteristics: Personal Traits. Survey results for RDI participants showed significant gains in all four entrepreneurial key competencies. Overall persistence in STEM was significantly greater for the RDI participants when compared to propensity score-matched Non-RDI participants. In addition, STEM persistence for students from very low/low SES households and from single-parent households in the RDI group was found to be significantly higher than for students in the matched Non-RDI group.

The Rochester Institute of Technology’s, Center for Urban Entrepreneurship (CUE), located in the heart of an urban area, initially launched without a blueprint. Staff continue to pursue alternative ways to secure funding for programmatic and service initiatives. This talk will cover how the center staff and partners were able to work collectively and secure over $1 million funding and how it this work could be replicated amongst/ within other regions. Therefore, making entrepreneurship accessible to the underserved business population. Inclusion and Diversity 2nd Floor Room 205 MIT’s New Innovation Hub: Supporting Women in Innovation and STEM Lauren Tyger, Massachusetts Institute of Technology 2021 was a special year for MIT because it marked the culmination of a decade of careful planning, painstaking reconstruction, and thoughtful community-building – the opening of MIT Innovation Headquarters [iHQ]. Located in the heart of Kendall Square, “the most innovative square mile on the planet”, iHQ creates the opportunity for world-changing impact by providing a home for MIT’s thriving community of innovators & entrepreneurs, supporting all who pursue ideas with a passion for world-changing impact. Many aspire to be founders, but not all. iHQ is designed to encourage chance meetings & opportunities that support all students explore their own unique innovation pathways. Women are underrepresented in STEM careers, and this is especially true of women pursuing careers that require graduate degrees. The best way to support women in STEM and Innovation is to support and promote their careers. At MIT iHQ, we believe the best conversations are sparked by diverse voices, and through our programs we make those voices easier to find. After one year of iHQ opening, 58% of the community are women. In this session, the Program Manager for Innovation and Entrepreneurship Community at MIT Office of Innovation will share how MIT built an environment where women explore, belong, and achieve in innovation and entrepreneurship at MIT.

Like all other universities and competition coordinators, we were challenged to make the experience compelling and meaningful in a digital environment. It wasn’t perfect, but with great partnerships and new technologies, we were able to accomplish the goal of supporting student startups and bringing recognition to the Northwest Arkansas region as a destination for entrepreneurship. As we transitioned to an in-person experience in 2022, we found that executing our first two competitions virtually gave us an advantage. Our team had become incredibly comfortable testing new tools and took using Airtable as our project management platform to another level. This session will show how we used Airtable and other tools to enhance user experience and streamline internal processes related to the Heartland Challenge. In addition, we will provide resources and templates you can use to manage any program.

Researchers as well as industry experts have investigated several different outcomes that reflect the effectiveness and performance of such ventures. The major firm level outcomes identified as performance indicators in the literature are growth in sales, growth in number of employees, growth in profitability/ revenues and venture exits and IPO’s. These measurements lack sufficient emphasis on a few important issues: The age and stage of the venture, the milestones it has achieved, the team performance etc. Furthermore, tasks and resources that align with the initial stage may not be relevant to those of a grown firm. In this paper we review this issue, offer potential ideas (and additional measurements) to overcome this gap. We will also share future research paths and share some initial results for work we conduct with industry and academic experts on this topic. Entrepreneurship Education 2nd Floor Room 219 Disruptive Playbook for Sustainability: Blended Approach to Experiential Entrepreneurship Education Supakorn Komthong, Sasin School of Management Nick Pisalyaput, Sasin School of Management Skills & Values for Mindful Leaders is the third iteration of a foundational course required for all our Masters’ degree programs. Developed, coincidentally, right when COVID-19 began, it is based on the entrepreneurial journey business leaders take as they survive, evolve, and thrive through today’s exponential perpetual disruption. This talk will outline the blended framework of the Skills & Values for Mindful Leaders. Students participate in experiential learning over 7 weeks culminating in groups applying their developing expertise to the challenges faced by businesses run by alumni of our programs. Sasin alumni businesses, featuring among the top 100 companies in Southeast Asia, have incorporated the recommendations proposed by Skills & Values for Mindful Leaders students to sustainably improve their triple bottom line: social, environmental, and financial. We believe these approaches can be applied in other business schools to accelerate muchneeded sustainability through an entrepreneurial mindset.

At the same time, students should be encouraged through consistent and active coaching, peer support, and full engagement with campus and local resources to further their journey. This presentation will focus on the implementation of a four-year, extensive, cohort-based undergraduate entrepreneurship fellowship program including: creation of the fellowship with growing pains and lessons learned; scaling and integrating the fellowship into the college ecosystem; and continuous assessment of the program, fellows, and community impact. The Q&A will allow a robust discussion of entrepreneurial fellowship/scholarship programs at different institutions to compare best practices and innovations within the space.
