E Video Hubs
It is astounding, really, how many online video resources are available to dedicated entrepreneurs. Some take a highly particular approach, others look more broadly. It is fascinating to poke around the different corners, to think about the contradictions and to absorb the common themes that run throughout.
1. The Kaufmann Foundation was established by the entrepreneur and philanthropist, Ewing Marion Kaufmann in the 1960’s. As part of their focus on education and entrepreneurship, they have developed an extensive series of online sketchbook animations. They feature well-known experts – such as our e101 Harvard textbook author, Noam Wasserman – taking on specific questions, such as ‘when to take the entrepreneurial leap.’

2. Stanford University’s Entrepreneurship Corner opens up thousands of free videos and podcasts featuring leading innovators from Silicon Valley and beyond. There are constantly new offerings along with intriguing oldies, such as a 2001 Google co-founder, Larry Page, offering his Tips for the Entrepreneur. http://ecorner.stanford.edu/authorMaterialInfo.html?mid=1076 or talking about Founding Team Dynamics with Sergei Brin, with whom he shared an office: http://ecorner.stanford.edu/authorMaterialInfo.html?mid=1084
3. Harvard Innovation Labs has also built a Video Information Library with full presentations on key topics such as this link: You have a great idea and nobody cares. http://i-lab.harvard.edu/learning-library/you-have-great-idea-and-nobody-cares
4. Steve Blank’s Lean Launchpad program is wildly popular and available free online. All you need to do is sign up at Udacity: https://www.udacity.com/course/ep245. They are easy to digest videos, separated out by topic. Even those who choose not to stick tightly to the launchpad program can learn a great deal about startup life by working through the programs.
5. If there’s talking, there’s TED. Here’s a link to those TED talks that are focused on entrepreneurship. http://www.ted.com/topics/entrepreneur
6. Monocle magazine’s show targeted at entrepreneurs.
