Entrepreneurship Pedagogy Track: Panel discussions & Presentations Part 2: Funder-ready-Entrepreneurs: A Conversation with Angel Investors

Speakers: Dr. Priya Iyer, Abu Cassim, Sewu-Steve Tawia

The session will explore the fundamental traits of start-up entrepreneurs that business angels consider in funding. The goal is to identify these traits to help higher-ed institutions integrate them into teaching entrepreneurship that prepares funder-ready graduates. Two business angels from across the continent will be invited to discuss the following questions:

• What do you feel are the fundamental traits of successful entrepreneurs that you have funded?
• Where do you wish that the entrepreneurs you see would be better at?
• Which of these traits do you feel a university or education institution could help build?
