Rick Wintheiser
Serial Entrepreneur, Founder and CEO
I started my first business when I was 15 years old. During the last 30 years I have launched more than 10 new businesses for myself and guided the creation of over 1000 startups, while helping more than 4000 entrepreneurs, from different parts of the world, to find, validate and launch their businesses, often while still being employed.
I'm the author of the Startup Operating System, which identifies the 20 key components of any digital business. Most of these components can be created using ChatGPT prompts that will be made available to students in this course. Other components can be built using free or low-cost web-based tools.
I also teach Entrepreneurship for international Master students at a Top 25 Financial Times Business School.
