141#: Unicorns are Alive and Entrepreneurship is Dying, with Elizabeth MacBride and Seth Lavine

We’re great at entrepreneurship in America, right?

This week on the If You Market podcast we talk with Elizabeth MacBride and Seth Lavine about their new book “The New Builders: Face to Face With the True Future of Builders”.  We talk about the problems entrepreneurs face today, the infatuation with unicorns vs small business, who the modern entrepreneurs are, and it gets a little controversial. 

Elizabeth MacBride is Co-Author of The New Builders, Founder at Times of Entrepreneurship, a Speaker, and Small Business Advocate. She is also a Journalist-in-Residence at the MIT Legatum Center for Development and Entrepreneurship.

Seth Lavine is Co-author of The New Builders: Face to Face with the True Future of Business and Managing Director at Foundry Group, a Boulder CO based early stage venture capital firm. 

 

The New Builders: Face to Face With the True Future of Business (May 4, Wiley)

 “Levine and McBride tell the stories of the unsung entrepreneurs of yesterday and today.  In so doing, they make a compelling case that it is not only the right thing to do, but it is also in our economic interest to ensure that these entrepreneurs get access to the funds and networks that they need in order to nurture and grow their businesses.” Katharine Weymouth, Former CEO and Publisher, The Washington Post
