The Fruits of Failure
The April 25 edition of Yale Entrepreneur, an online forum covering Yale’s entrepreneurial community, features an interview with Kyle Jensen, the Shanna and Eric Bass ’05 Director of Entrepreneurial Programs and Lecturer in Entrepreneurship at Yale SOM.
Jensen discusses the opportunities and challenges entrepreneurs face at Yale, the growing role of technology, and the importance of failing.
Jensen says:
For founders, failure is ubiquitous. Any worthy endeavor is filled with struggle and shortcoming. I’ve had some successes, but there are many things I’ve worked on that never got off the ground. Failure helps you appreciate the successes because it endows you with perspective.
