“We should all jump off cliffs as often as possible,” advises Gordon Ritter, a founder and general partner of Silicon Valley venture capital firm Emergence Capital. Ritter gave the keynote speech at Princeton University’s Keller Center’s Innovation Forum in February and that was some of his advice to aspiring entrepreneurs. The Forum is designed to showcase research that has the potential to be commercialized. Teams compete to present their research in three-minute pitches to an audience that includes angel investors, venture capitalists, staff, faculty, students and members of Princeton’s entrepreneurial community.
