Hi everyone.

Did you know there are a wealth of opportunities out there for those who want to start businesses? But opportunities in startups don’t just apply to entrepreneurs! Lots of others can be a part of this boom, too. My guest expert, Bill Provine, the CEO of an organization devoted to helping startups get off the ground, shares his expertise about this and much more on today’s episode.

Among other things, Bill speaks about (1) the many different kinds of startup ventures his organization, The Innovation Space, assists, (2) some major trends taking place in the world of entrepreneurship today, (3) contrasts in the approach to entrepreneurship around the globe, and (4) tools to help those who are launching or looking to grow their ventures.

True to our focus here on Looking Forward®, Bill lays out a boatload of opportunities for those interested in being part of the start-up world. Many of these involve positions or roles that go well beyond the company founder or visionary, too. Finally, Bill takes a look at how the rest of this decade looks for startup opportunities, and he provides numerous tips for those interested in this field of endeavor.

Now a bit about Bill. Bill Provine is the founder, President, and Chief Executive Officer of the The Innovation Space, in addition to a member of its Board of Directors. In this role, Bill oversees all operations and is responsible for its overall performance.

Prior to joining the Innovation Space, Bill worked for DuPont. There he led global operations for science and engineering, encompassing DuPont's open innovation practice. This included oversight for DuPont’s innovation centers and regional laboratories around the world. He also has served in a variety of research, marketing, business development, joint venture, and manufacturing leadership roles in DuPont over the last 30 years.

Bill is very active in cultivating and advancing science across sectors and has served on numerous private company, university, industrial, governmental, and scientific association advisory and management boards and committees. He currently serves on the board of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) supporting scientific research and advocacy; the Resolution Project, supporting social entrepreneurship; and the National Advisory Council on Innovation and Entrepreneurship with the U.S. Department of Commerce, supporting creation of a national entrepreneurship strategy.
