Timothy Ericson and Jason Meizner, recent LeBow College graduates and founders of CityRyde LLC, a startup housed in the College's Laurence A. Baiada Center for Entrepreneurship, are featured in an article titled "Entrepreneurship: No Experience Necessary: Six tips for starting a business with little industry experience or business know-how." Mark Loschiavo, executive director of the Baiada Center, is also quoted.
"We started from nothing," says Ericson, CEO and co-founder of CityRyde, a bike-sharing consulting firm. "We basically spent our first two years becoming experts in an industry that was totally new to us."
"Domain experts ... need a passionate belief that there's a problem out there that needs to be solved, and need to be flexible about the solution to it," says Loschiavo.
