In the opening session of our lecture series MAN630 Introduction to Entrepreneurship, contagt co-founder Johannes Britsch provided a real-life example of a University of Mannheim (student) entrepreneur. The theoretical content of the first session dealt with what actually constitutes an entrepreneur and what entrepreneurs do. Is it all about their psychological profile and character traits?
Johannes provided great insights into their business and what it is like to found a business from within a university setting. A great discussion evolved and there was a lot of room for individual questions.
