ECE Seminar: Entrepreneurship Is Hard, and You Should Do It

Matt Smith, COO of the TandemLaunch consumer electronics startup incubator in Montreal, will share stories about the companies that have been borne out of university ingenuity. Learn about what makes a great entrepreneur and how to avoid the traps that most often lead to failure.
