      Entrepreneurial Week Takes the Bay Area by Storm

      Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour Paves the Way

       

      West Valley Community College Theater

                                                   November 17, 2009, 11:00am – 3:00pm

       

      City College of San Francisco

      Diego Rivera Theatre: CCSF Main Campus

      November 18, 2009, 1:00-5:00 PM

                                             

                                                                                   

       

      San Francisco/San Jose Nov. 2009 – The power of the entrepreneurial spirit will be taking Northern California by storm during Global Entrepreneurial Week (GEW), November 16th to the 22nd . This is when The Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour will be making two stops within the Greater Bay Area, one at West Valley Community College on Tuesday, November 17th and the other at San Francisco City College on Wednesday, November 18th.

       

      The Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour is not your typical entrepreneurship event with a keynote-speaker and a business-pitch. This FREE event is full of music, movement, food, text message voting, high-fives, and opportunities to receive over $1200.00 in prizes and of course, tips and tools to turn an idea into reality. You will be inspired by the stories of successful, young entrepreneurs and agents of change under 30. Brainstorm your new business ideas and gain insight into your goals. You can get your burning questions answered during the interactive panel and receive feedback and support with other like-minded attendees during networking breaks.

       

      This high-energy event features the top young successful local entrepreneurs. If you're interested in starting a business or setting yourself apart in your career now, this event is for you! Take your career to the next level faster and learn more about entrepreneurship and turn your idea into a reality.  Existing entrepreneurs who want to recharge their batteries are also welcome.  More information on the Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour is at the website: (www.extremetour.org)

       

      The tour is presented by the California Community Colleges Economic Workforce Development Program (EWD). With state unemployment at a record high and job prospects grim, more and more college students are thinking about starting their own business. “The state’s Community Colleges and Centers are looking for new ways to generate innovative businesses that create jobs and face down the recession,” says Mike Roessler, EWD's program director. “Bringing the Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour to our college campuses is an out-of-the-box strategy that taps a largely overlooked resource:  the creativity and energy of our young people.”  The Tour helps students take the next step by offering inspiration and practical advice about how to start a business. 

       

      Created in 2006 by Sheena Lindahl and Michael Simmons, the tour features many of California’s top young entrepreneurs who've made, earned or sold companies for millions of dollars and/or made a huge impact before the age of 30. One speaker, Cameron Johnson (24) from Los Angeles, started a dozen profitable businesses and became a self-made millionaire while he was still a teenager.  Another speaker, Rahim Fazal (27) from San Francisco, sold his first business for $1.5 million as he was graduating from high school.  Fazal is the co-founder and CEO of the venture-backed company, Involver.

       

      “More than half the companies on the 2009 Fortune 500 list were launched during a recession or bear market,” says Simmons.  “Technology and globalization have made it very inexpensive to start a business.  Now is the best time that there has ever been to become your own boss.” 

       

      According to a 2007 Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation survey by Harris Interactive, four out of 10 young people would like to start their own businesses someday.  “However, when we talked with students, we realized that many of them needed inspiration and support to achieve this dream,” says Lindahl. “That’s why we started the tour.”  

       

      The goal of the Extreme Entrepreneurship tour is to have college students around the nation graduate with an entrepreneurial mindset.  In 2009, interest in starting a business rose 16% among 4,200 California students who attended tour events. Small businesses with fewer than 20 employees are responsible for 35% of all jobs in the nation's largest state.

       

      For the first time, students who attend the tour events will be asked to take a pledge to create their own jobs by the end of 2010.  Using social media, tour attendees, speakers and staff will be able to ask questions, post updates on their businesses, and post comments about the tour on Twitter in real time and have them shared on http://www.extremetour.org/ca.  The goal is to get 10,000 new pledges by the end of the year.

       

      California is one of six states that led the nation in entrepreneurial activity in 2008, according to the Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity.  In an effort to capitalize on that trend, Economic and Workforce Development, Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs), Centers for International Trade and Development (CITDs), and community colleges are bringing California’s top young entrepreneurs to 18 college campuses for the first time.  The state's future business owners will learn the how-to’s of business startup, where to get help, to consider community college, as well as the importance of completing their education. 

       

      Both emerging entrepreneurs and students from all disciplines are invited to attend tour events in their area to learn how they can apply the entrepreneurial mindset to their lives regardless of their choice of careers.  Since the tour was created in 2006, it has presented 100 events in 30 states, reaching 100,000 students across the country.

       

      The three Extreme Tour directors had observed a gap in the conferences and events they were attending,
“We saw that there were lots of great entrepreneurship events going on around the country, but not a lot featuring the top young entrepreneurs,” Simmons said. “When I went to NYU, you had Michael Dell speak, and it was a good story, but not something that makes (a college student) think, ‘I could walk away and do this.” That’s one of the unique things about Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour – the keynote speakers are in their twenties or thirties, an age bracket that has more resonance with college students, “Most people haven’t seen someone who has created a multi-million dollar business in their twenties,” Simmons said. “We have them share (their story) authentically and ask them what their real challenges were.”

       

      For many of the students attending this Free Tour, the content is completely new territory. As part of an introduction to the idea of entrepreneurship as a career path, Simmons sees the role of Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour as laying a groundwork of confidence.
“The core of starting a business is having that belief in yourself that you can accomplish something, and conquer your fears, and apply that to the rest of your life,” Simmons said. So far, the tour has made over 100 stops, in over 30 states. The return on investment is nothing short of impressive – 93% of people who attend the event have been inspired to take action.
This idea serves to strengthen the community of aspiring entrepreneurs that Simmons said he sees emerging out of things like Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour and Global Entrepreneurship Week.
“Entrepreneurship education has never been as connected to itself, and to a movement, as it has been with GEW and (this kind of event),” Simmons said.
There are two tour stops planned during Global Entrepreneurship Week in the Greater Bay Area,– one at West Valley College Theater, 14000 Fruitvale Ave., Saratoga, CA, 95070 on Nov. 17; and one at City College of San Francisco on Nov. 18, Diego Rivera Theatre, 50 Phelan Ave, San Francisco, CA, 94112.
