In Jeremy Chan’s blog post about entrepreneurship, he highlights many of the key reasons why this branch of business plays such a strong part in today’s society. Without entrepreneurs like Jonathan Rothberg who always are searching to answer’s life’s problems and in turn make it easier, much of the innovation of today would be inexistent. I agree with Jeremy over the fact that “disruptive innovations” are key for revolutionizing industries as without them industries could become stagnant and refuse to evolve. The evolution that these innovations bring helps to propel not only the industry but society forward in generally a positive light. In the case of Jonathan Rosenberg his aim to alter the health industry with a handheld ultrasound is genius. Just looking and thinking about this concept one can only imagine how helpful and needed this technology is. By turning the technology of an ultrasound into a handheld device so many more people around the world would be able to experience and use this technology even in a third world type setting. From an entrepreneurial stand point, I agree with Jeremy’s analysis that such a technology would possess the advantage of being first in its market and as such over time they could expand into other forms of personalized health care equipment as the firm would be associated with the field first.
