DARE TO LAUNCH - Mini-MBA for First Time Entrepreneurs - No Student Loan Required is an entrepreneurship essential that puts aspiring entrepreneurs in the driver’s seat of their business. This book is a fun, easy-to-implement step-by-step guide for ambitious entrepreneurs who want to launch their dream business – whether that’s a scalable family business or a billion-dollar Silicon Valley startup -- and learn from founders who have just been there, done that.

A note from the author and your host:

I deeply care about lowering the barriers for underrepresented first-time entrepreneurs. Those barriers can be a mindset, bias in the investor world or not knowing which steps to take in which order to launch a scalable business.

I’m a serial entrepreneur and angel investor who writes small checks for founders I believe have the power to change the world with great ideas.

-Anne Cocquyt
