Oklahoma State University

 

Entrepreneurs are ordinary people who do extraordinary things. They change the world one venture at a time. With passion and tenacity, coupled with vision and purpose, coupled with discipline and principles, they create the future.

Sometimes this results in commercial ventures that produce profits and wealth—and sometimes it results in social ventures that produce social benefits, such as a cleaner environment, home ownership for those that could never afford it, or computer literacy for the economically deprived.
