Are you an aspiring entrepreneur who doesn’t fit the “tech bro” stereotype? This week on FOMO Sapiens, Patrick McGinnis sits down with Lori Rosenkopf, Vice Dean of Entrepreneurship at the Wharton School and author of Unstoppable Entrepreneurs, to debunk the myth that success requires venture capital and billion-dollar valuations.
Lori reveals seven real-world paths to value creation, from the bootstrapper and social entrepreneur to the intrapreneur and acquirer, and explains why relatable role models are the key to unlocking more innovation. She also shares how embracing an extroverted, empathetic leadership style transformed her own career, and why today’s entrepreneurs are just as driven by impact as they are by profit. If you want to chart your own course without chasing someone else’s unicorn dream, this conversation is your roadmap.
Lori Rosenkopf is Vice Dean of Entrepreneurship and Simon and Midge Palley Professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Renowned for her research on knowledge networks and innovation, Lori now leads Wharton’s Venture Lab and works to expand pathways for aspiring founders of all backgrounds. Her new book, Unstoppable Entrepreneurs, challenges Silicon Valley myths and showcases the diverse ways people create value through innovation.
