This is an effort in over 60 countries to inspire young people to explore entrepreneurship as the way to make lasting changes upon the world. It is exciting to read this post about entrepreneurship at Harvard to see young people who are setting examples for other young people around the world. Hopefully Harvard entrepreneurs will be very visible during <a title="Global Entrepreneurship Week" href="http://www.squidoo.com/GlobalEntrepreneurshipWeek" rel="nofollow">Global Entrepreneurship Week</a> Shallie Bey <a title="Smarter Small Business Blog" href="http://businessrebirth.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Smarter Small Business Blog</a> The first ever Global Entrepreneurship Week will be celebrated in November of 2008.

There have been several waves of activity there, including a club co-founded by Bill Haney who started FuelTech in his dorm on the Yard and later Molten Metal Technologies, and also a later business club effort by Dan Hart who was early at Silicon Spice, Deploy Solutions and Echo music. And that's just Harvard College efforts. Curiously enough, it's been easier for Harvard grad school folks to enter -- and become finalists and even win -- in the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition than to participate in things in other schools at Harvard. HBS is notoriously isolationist in this respect (despite the fact the MIT technologists have been the core of multiple winning teams in the HBS competition, including LowCostEyeglasses and Bang Networks). We have several examples of Harvard people doing well in the MIT competition, for instance, Harvard Law's Gary Culliss of DirectHit and Belinda Juran of Actuality come to mind, Grand Prize winner and Runner-up winner in the $100K (back in its $50K days). And Harvard Medical's Shai Gozani of Neurometrix and Nina Dudnik of SeedingLabs. And in the Developmental Entrepreneurship class I teach at MIT, we've had dozens of very entrepreneurial cross-registrant students from both the Harvard Kennedy School and Education School, including key leaders of three out of the five semi-finalists in the Development Track in this year's MIT $100K. --Joost Very nice update on the latest entrepreneurial action at Harvard.
