Babson College and the Business Innovation Factory (BIF) have newly partnered to create an Entrepreneurial Experience Laboratory (EEL) to accelerate the design and development of new entrepreneur support solutions. Their latest efforts include the Entrepreneur StoryBooth, that lets people share instant 20 second videos about their entrepreneurial experience.
With President Obama’s recent declaration of National Entrepreneurs Day, it is no surprise the focus of global economic revival is on entrepreneurship, the small businesses, and the jobs that they create. However, the entrepreneurial support system, while growing tremendously right now, is still young and needs a lot more resources in order ensure the successes of these young companies.
“The current entrepreneurship support system is well-intended but insufficient to stimulate entrepreneurial activity at the scale and scope we need to revive the global economy. The system needs more than a tweak—it needs a transformation,” says BIF founder and Chief Catalyst Saul Kaplan. “In most cases, the voice of the entrepreneur is all but absent from discussions about how to better support new venture creation and there is little ongoing experimentation to facilitate the design and development of new approaches. With the launch of the Entrepreneurship Experience Lab, Babson and BIF have the opportunity to leverage our unique strengths to change this dynamic.”
