GREAT LESSONS FROM FIVE OF SILICON VALLEY'S BIGGEST ROCK STARS!

Recently, Colgate University, as part of their Entrepreneur Weekend 2014,  invited five of Silicon Valley's biggest rock stars to speak to its students as well as to host a Shark Tank of sorts, in which three young founders walked away with US$5,000 in funding, as captured in the following video clip.

Panelists included Ashton Kutcher, Airbnb co-founder Brian Chesky, eBay CEO John Donahoe, former Yahoo COO Daniel Rosensweig and former Microsoft business development head Tony Bates.



A quick brisk summary:

Ashton Kutcher: "Grit"
Brian Chesky: "Curiosity and a willingness to learn"
Tony Bates: "A willingness to share"
John Donohoe: "Know who you are & discover your strengths"
Daniel Rosensweig: "Bet on Yourself"
