“The term ‘creative business’ may seem like an oxymoron to some, but if one looks closely at great business innovations, creativity always plays a part. School for Creative Startups fills a gap by edifying and professionalizing entrepreneurs in creative industries.

As the world evolves, our problems (of all types) become increasingly complex and I think that creative entrepreneurs can surely provide the creative problem-solving and innovation that we need.”
