V Bernardelli Gardone V.t.
Here we go! This post decreed the official birth of AlmaVenturing
a blog dedicated to entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs. 
In my dual role as researcher and lecturer of 'Alma Mater Studiorum (University of Bologna) over the past years I have had the pleasure to interact constantly with students, managers, entrepreneurs and professional investors. The lesson I drew from these exchanges is simple. Entrepreneurship is a subject that arouses great curiosity, if not real passion. This is witnessed, academic side, the proliferation of courses and publications devoted to this subject, and the business side, the literal explosion of events and initiatives to stimulate the formation of new enterprises through business plan competitions, incubators, bootcamps, riconosciemnti public etc.
In this ocean of information and events, I like to think that it is possible to suggest a shipping route or a better route knowledge, without limitation but with the goal of providing a compass that helps to independently choose its own direction. and I realize that 'an ambitious goal but I also enjoy a privileged perspective, thanks especially to a University and a group of colleagues at the Department of Management
, which has long undertake to enhance and promote the culture of entrepreneurship, both scientifically and institutionally. I cite but a few. The University of Bologna is the first nationally to introduce
StartCup , which has long undertake to enhance and promote the culture of entrepreneurship, both scientifically and institutionally. I cite but a few. The University of Bologna is the first nationally to introduce
, the business plan competition for new high content technology. A model now prevalent in all major Italian universities. To the university in Bologna, it must also create the first university business incubator at the national level, AlmaCube , founded with the goal of encouraging technology transfer to the University market. Always head to our university and in this case with my colleague Prof. Gianni Lorenzoni is the chair of PNICube , the Association of Incubators and Business Plan Competition Italian academic. To all this, then joins a tradition of significant research and teaching at undergraduate, graduate and executives on topics such as entrepreneurship, business plan and business creation. In short, to paraphrase Newton, it is appropriate to say that "we stand on the shoulders of giants
.
Surrounded by all these positive externalities arises therefore
AlmaVenturing
AlmaVenturing born in correspondence with the Global Entrepreneurship Week 2010 , global entrepreneurship week sponsored by the Kauffman Foundation, which will take place in Italy, as in the rest of the world, 15 to 21 November. But of this we will have ample opportunity to write the next post. As good practice, behind every self-respecting startup can not miss a team of fanatics. The team AlmaVenturing includes, besides myself, Matt Filippelli, PhD student at the Department of Business and expert in social media and Paco Giuliani, post-doc at Penn State University, our scout in America. Then there is an extended team, which involves first of all our colleagues who are passionately involved in entrepreneurship and / or themes contiguous, and in particular I think Bugamelli Fabrizio, Gianni Lorenzoni, Rosa Grimaldi, Alessandro Grandi, Cristina Boari, Riccardo Fini e Laura Toschi, a cui esprimiamo sin da ora gratitudine per il sostegno e i suggerimenti che ci potranno offrire in questa avventura. In secundis, la comunità di alumni dell’Alma Mater, la nostra risorsa più grande e preziosa, l’energia imprenditoriale di domani.
Enjoy!
