Bizworld - Tim Draper - Il Sole 24 Ore - Grazia Bennett

This is a topic I suggested to Guido Gentili, former Managing Director, Il Sole 24 Ore, in 2003. I helped Stefano Salis, a journalist of Il Sole 24 Ore, to write the piece. I know Tim Draper well and I actually took the Bizworld course. I was able to have the course taught at my son's school in San Francisco. I wish that the course could be taught in Italian schools. Creating an entrepreneur mentality and culture is easier if the exposure is done at a young age. Thank you for reading it. GrazContinue
