Ecosystems Create People, Not Companies

When I first started at InCube, our success metrics were how many companies we create and how much revenue those companies produce.  The more companies and more money, the louder we could blow our horn (with data).  Donald could have been our spokesman.

Now that I've been at Duke a few months, I beginning to finalize a path the entrepreneurial minded student might take.  Recently it dawned on me that our ecosystem is not about creating companies.  It's about creating "entrepreneurial mind people that will solve the world's problems."
