Entrepreneurship education: an oxymoron?: Emer Dooley at TEDxEastsidePrep

Emer Dooley serves as adjunct faculty in technology strategy, entrepreneurship and venture capital in the Business School and the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. She also works with the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE), involving students in all aspects of company creation, technology commercialization and investment. She's most proud of having won the University's Distinguished Teaching Award. She is passionate about early-stage companies and raised and runs a small ($4.5 million) early-stage technology investment fund in conjunction with the Alliance of Angels. She is a board member for the Washington Research Foundation, the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship and Julep, a Seattle startup.

Emer has a B.Sc. and M.Eng. from the University of Limerick in Ireland, and an MBA and Ph.D. from the University of Washington. She likes to do anything outdoors, and to subject her two girls (11 and 13) to bizarre travel adventures, usually involving marathons in strange places.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
