Start:ME Spotlight:
Bryant Isaacs
You took part in Start:ME Next Gen, an entrepreneurship program for high school students run in partnership with 21st century leaders. Describe your experience with those students.
"I found the students to be exceptional team players with an infectious enthusiasm."
I worked with a group of ~10 students on a business plan pitch for a business idea the students had agreed upon.I found the students to be exceptional team players with an infectious enthusiasm that would be the envy of any team focused on business problems. They self-organized quite rapidly and divided aspects of the pitch across multiple team members and were very well received by the audience. I myself was really energized to interact with these young students who will definitely become leaders in whatever they pursue in the future. They really gave me the feeling that the future of our country is in really good hands.
How did you get involved with Start:ME and why did you come back for a second year?
"I got really got interested in his ideas on local small businesses and their contribution to the vibrancy and long term success of the local community."
