New book focuses on climate and energy entrepreneurs
It updates the MIT framework named “Disciplined Entrepreneurship: 24 Steps to a Successful Start-up” that was published in 2013.
Climate and energy entrepreneurs face unique challenges — long timelines, high capital needs, and the imperative to have a positive impact on people, planet, and profit. A new book adapts the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) foundational entrepreneurship framework specifically for this sector.
When Bill Aulet published “Disciplined Entrepreneurship: 24 Steps to a Successful Start-up” in 2013, he brought a foundational MIT entrepreneurship framework into the world for any founder to use.
But a climate or energy entrepreneur isn’t just any founder. In teaching MIT’s Climate and Energy Ventures course (formerly Energy Ventures), Aulet, a Professor of Practice and the Managing Director of the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship, and other, later instructors found that the standard Disciplined Entrepreneurship framework didn’t fit so snugly in that sector.
So they built a new one. Written by MIT Entrepreneur-in-Residence Ben Soltoff with Aulet, Tod Hynes, Francis O’Sullivan, and Libby Wayman, “Disciplined Entrepreneurship for Climate and Energy Ventures” adapts Aulet’s original framework with climate and energy entrepreneurs in mind.
