Sand Hill Road Host Scott McGrew speaks with Wharton Vice Dean of Entrepreneurship Lori Rosenkopf, author of Unstoppable Entrepreneurs: 7 Paths for Unleashing Successful Startups and Creating Value through Innovation. They talk about breaking the mold of the "typical" founder, why the median age of successful startup founders is older than you think, and how economic dislocation may actually fuel the next wave of innovation.
Rosenkopf reflects on the myth of the 20-something founder with a Stanford degree and a Greylock check, and predicts how ex-government workers could help reinvent the public sector from the outside.
