1871 CEO HOWARD TULLMAN SPEAKS ON ENTREPRENEURSHIP AT SPERTUS INSTITUTE

The pioneering Center for Jewish Leadership officially launched at Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership on October 26, 2014, with a groundbreaking symposium titled Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Jewish Leadership. We were excited to bring together on one stage innovative leaders from US and Israel. The impressive panel of presenters transcended the line between the for-profit and nonprofit sectors, a scope that was equally reflected by those in the audience. It is now my pleasure to share videos of the speaker’s presentations. I hope that their insights on entrepreneurship, innovation, and Jewish leadership will be useful in your own work and can be leveraged to advance Jewish communal life.

While thousands of investors have taken to equity crowdfunding platforms, there is a lot of runway for new investors to embrace crowd investing. In this week’s episode of TWiC, hosts Zack Miller and David Stark explore (and bust) 4 myths of equity crowdfunding.
