In this fourth issue of Entrepreneur Prime magazine, we celebrate the audacity of visionaries who are not just navigating uncharted territories but are also redrawing the maps of their respective fields. Their stories are more than narratives of personal triumph; they represent a beacon for aspiring entrepreneurs and innovators worldwide.Our cover features Dr. Hugo De La Peña, a name that has become synonymous with ground-breaking advancements in cancer care. Dr. De La Peña's pioneering work in oncology is not just a testament to his exceptional skill and intellect but also to his profound compassion for those he serves. His innovative approaches to treatment and his advocacy for cancer research funding are reshaping the landscape of healthcare, offering new hope where once there was little. His presence on our cover reflects the ethos of Entrepreneur Prime: to spotlight leaders who are making a tangible, positive impact on the world.In keeping with our tradition of featuring game-changers, we also had the honour of interviewing Dr. Terry McIvor, President and Founder of the International Guild of Hypnotherapy, NLP, and 3 Principles Practitioners and Trainers (IGH3P). Dr. McIvor's ground-breaking work in Patho-physiological Neuro-Linguistic Psychology (PNLPsy(TM)) is pioneering a new era in psychological sciences. His approach integrates neuro-linguistic programming, empirical psychology, and neuroscience to forge PNLPsy(TM), an innovative framework that holds the potential to revolutionise coaching, mentoring, and therapeutic practices.Ramon Gras Alomà, a pioneering City Science researcher and co-founder at Aretian Urban Analytics and Design, applies cutting-edge methodologies and academic rigor to revolutionise urban design. His work offers transformative insights for sustainable development in the face of technological evolution.But our exploration of visionary entrepreneurship does not end here. We have also conducted interviews with other remarkable entrepreneurs whose diverse ventures are united by a common thread: the drive to initiate change.Olympia Theofanopoulou, through her brand OLIA Scarves, weaves the rich tapestry of Greek culture into every silk thread, marrying tradition with contemporary aesthetics. Her dedication to quality and cultural expression exemplifies how entrepreneurship can serve as a bridge between history and modernity, local craftsmanship and global markets.Chris Maslin's GoEO represents another facet of entrepreneurship's vast landscape. With a focus on eco-friendly travel experiences, Maslin's venture is a testament to the growing importance of sustainability in business models. His work serves as a reminder that profitability and environmental stewardship can go hand-in-hand.Heidi Ellert-McDermott's story, while distinct, is equally inspiring. Her journey underscores the power of creativity and the importance of adapting to market needs, proving that entrepreneurial success often requires a willingness to pivot and persist through adversity.Each entrepreneur we've interviewed brings a unique perspective on what it means to innovate and lead in today's rapidly evolving business world. Their stories are not just narratives of success; they are blueprints for impact, imbued with lessons for all who aspire to make their mark.As you turn the pages of this issue, we invite you to draw inspiration from these pioneers. Let their journeys enlighten your path, their challenges fortify your resolve, and their successes broaden your vision of what is possible.At Entrepreneur Prime, we believe that entrepreneurship is about more than starting businesses; it's about starting movements.Enjoy reading

While considerable efforts have been made to conceptualize and outline the theoretical and normative logic of mission-oriented innovation policies and the role of the entrepreneurial state, there is a stark lack of empirical studies concerning how missions are designed and executed, and when they may work or do not. How Fares the Entrepreneurial State? reviews theoretical rationales for mission-oriented innovation policy and provides an empirical overview of 30 articles which together cover 51 concluded or ongoing missions from around the world. The authors synthetize varieties of mission formulations, actors involved, and analyze characteristics of missions described as more or less failed or successful. Among the projects analyzed, many do not fulfill common definitions of 'innovation missions'. Missions related to technological or agricultural innovations seem more often successful than broader types of missions aimed at social or ecological challenges, and challenges in the governance and evaluation of missions remain unresolved in the literature.

While Projects hold importance, in Bridges to Leadership, Oded Agam reminds us: it's the people you'll remember and who'll remember you!Agam led multi-billion-dollar strategic planning programs at Intel, the international tech giant. Prior to that, he worked for several high-tech startups after serving in the Israeli Navy. Currently, he is a managing partner of NextLeap Ventures. In addition, Agam chairs the executive board of a prominent Israeli non-profit, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Israel, and serves as President of the NYU Alumni Club of Israel. Through it all, his success has come via a simple plan: build bridges.Our families, friends, employers, coworkers, employees, teachers, fellow alumni-everyone we meet and connect to-can become assets in our pursuit of success. In an amazing professional autobiography, Agam uses the bridge analogy to show how professional and personal relationships move us forward. Bridges are remarkable structures, but they require careful planning, piece-by-piece construction, and constant maintenance to be useful-as do relationships.Agam shares what he's learned from his successes and his failures: How the bridges he's built and nurtured helped him bootstrap a successful, unique, and differentiated venture capital firm.How the bridges he built between people, technology, and business enabled him to grow early-stage startups into revenue-generating growth companies.How he helped create a new, multi-billion-dollar product line by bridging the wide gaps between corporate departments.How his failure to cross a bridge when the way stood wide open led to the failure of a startup.How his leadership philosophy can inform, empower, and strengthen your leadership strategies and networks.People want to work together, but differing priorities and a lack of understanding of how all the pieces in a successful project fit together can spell disaster. Agam demonstrates how to line up the pieces and rivet them into place, bridging where you are to where you want to be.Grab your copy of Bridges to Leadership and learn how to build your own bridges!

A leading innovation scholar explains the growing phenomenon and impact of free innovation, in which innovations developed by consumers and given away "for free." In this book, Eric von Hippel, author of the influential Democratizing Innovation, integrates new theory and research findings into the framework of a "free innovation paradigm." Free innovation, as he defines it, involves innovations developed by consumers who are self-rewarded for their efforts, and who give their designs away "for free." It is an inherently simple grassroots innovation process, unencumbered by compensated transactions and intellectual property rights. Free innovation is already widespread in national economies and is steadily increasing in both scale and scope. Today, tens of millions of consumers are collectively spending tens of billions of dollars annually on innovation development. However, because free innovations are developed during consumers' unpaid, discretionary time and are given away rather than sold, their collective impact and value have until very recently been hidden from view. This has caused researchers, governments, and firms to focus too much on the Schumpeterian idea of innovation as a producer-dominated activity. Free innovation has both advantages and drawbacks. Because free innovators are self-rewarded by such factors as personal utility, learning, and fun, they often pioneer new areas before producers see commercial potential. At the same time, because they give away their innovations, free innovators generally have very little incentive to invest in diffusing what they create, which reduces the social value of their efforts. The best solution, von Hippel and his colleagues argue, is a division of labor between free innovators and producers, enabling each to do what they do best. The result will be both increased producer profits and increased social welfare--a gain for all.

This book, enriched by the insights and experiences of Lorenzo Murphy from Compton politics, serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding AI and its implications in the Black community. Murphy's involvement brings a unique perspective, particularly through his introductions to key figures in the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health and Homeless Services. His contributions help in exploring how community advocacy and leadership play a pivotal role in leveraging AI for social good. The relationships fostered through introductions played a pivotal role in shaping this book. They influenced the formation of chapters that begin from the fundamentals, addressing the understanding of code and AI bias. This groundwork paves the way for a comprehensive roadmap aimed at achieving a level playing field in technology and AI applications. BlackPowerAI.com, a platform that intersects technology, community empowerment, and AI digital literacy, is a crucial aspect of this narrative. This website serves as a testament to the book's core message - bridging the digital divide and promoting servant leadership, as exemplified by Jeffrey Wofford and his involvement with Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., Epsilon Mu Chapter. This book is not just a resource but a call to action for readers to engage with AI in a way that is informed, equitable, and transformative."

Entrepreneurship has been traditionally investigated and explained from an economic perspective. In addition, mainstreaming gender-blind research has resulted in understanding entrepreneurship in masculine terms and associating it with male attributes such as risk-taking, aggression, and competitiveness. As shown in the literature e.g. (Ahl, 2006) despite policy support to increase women's participation in entrepreneurship, one of the main inhibiting factors remains to be the understanding of entrepreneurship based on socially constructed masculine stereotypes. This is why researching women entrepreneurs and expanding the definition of entrepreneurship to include the understanding of how they view themselves and define their success in this domain is crucial. There is a rising field of women entrepreneurship research, especially in developing countries. In Lebanon, there has been a rise in women entrepreneurship training programs both in the urban and rural areas due to increased interest from the academic and civil society sector in this topic. Nevertheless, and although several studies have been done about women entrepreneurs, few took place in the Levant region in the Middle East and even fewer in the technology domain. To address this gap, this research aims to gain a good understanding of women entrepreneurs in technology in Lebanon within the specific context and environment that they operate and live in. Like the majority of research studies tackling female entrepreneurship in the MENA region, a qualitative methodology was adopted where in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted to study fifteen female tech-entrepreneurs in Lebanon. This research answers the calls in the gendered entrepreneurship literature for adopting a social constructionist perspective in entrepreneurship research, using a gender-aware framework in researching women entrepreneurs, and contextualising women entrepreneurship research according to culture and self-perceptions. This research pays attention to gender construction while not focusing on comparing men and women. Using a gendered lens, findings concerning the progress and impact of the women's ventures were highlighted using the interviewees' own criteria.

We all know that sustainable goals are a challenge and, specifically, firms play a key role in achieving them since they define and manage activities that impact our lives. For established firms, sustainable approaches are difficult to implement. For new firms, they may be not. More and more often, in fact, the new firms are born as good businesses: good as in ethical, good as in eco-sustainable and good as in performance (e.g., as measured by the SDGs). Scholars contributing to this volume have addressed their attention toward four main themes respectively dealing with: Opportunities for good (Part I); The influence of individual profiles on entrepreneurial processes for good (Part II); The type of firms and how they impact on entrepreneurial processes for good (Part III); The dynamics of entrepreneurial processes for good (Part IV).
