Alex. Brown Center for Entrepreneurship Presents
The Raymond V. Haysbert, Sr. Entrepreneurship Lecture
Are You Ready To Get Started?
Presenter:
Chris Brandenburg
Co-founder, Executive Vice President & CTO
Millennial Media, Inc.
Small businesses are the engine of our economy, yet there remain so
many self-imposed barriers to launching your own startup. How can I
start a company? I don't know how to setup a legal entity! How do I
launch a product? Where will I get funding? These questions hold so
many great ideas back from seeing the light of day, especially for
those still in school or early in their careers. If you have the basic
tenets of the entrepreneurial spirit, you owe it to yourself to overcome
these barriers and explore the possibilities.
In this discussion, Chris will share his experiences in three successful
start-ups and talk about some of the key traits that have led to many
successful entrepreneurs. He will provide a few key introspective
questions to help you assess whether you are really ready to take the
leap and get started!
Chris is the co-founder and CTO of Millennial Media Inc. Millennial
Media is the leading independent mobile advertising platform company
where they build a platform for mobile phone developers to more
easily build applications and generate revenue through advertising.
Millennial Media went public in 2012 and was the second biggest
opening day gain of the year.
