By Larry Chiang Have you heard of me?! I’m an engineer that doubled as a supermodel. My debut was Mom’s Day Fashion Show in Champaign. Remember, your social life and frat is in Champaign, but the Engineering Quad’s in Urbana. I am the guy that spiked NY Fashion Week to almost be a month long :-)))) My mentor started that Mark McCormack Anyway, I love engineering. I effen rock it. So redick You may have heard that I, LARRY CHIANG, started a million dollar business in my dorm room. Became millionaire. Self funded. Fundraised a VC fund via text message Also, because I am Chinese and so are my mother and father, they made me get a fortune 100 job. Yup. Number one starting salary that was highest. It still stands. University Of Illinois. Now I know you’ve hurl’d a li’l in your mouth… …but you’re curious. How did this guy with only a bachelors degree teach at Stanford University in Palo Alto, CALIF?! yeah, I know, right!! Here is how. Here is more on how LARRY CHIANG did it… I regurgitate what my mentor taught me. Yup. Yup, business recipes from a 1983 book doesn’t sound sexy. But repackaged as “Gua Gua Guacamole” makes it a huge hit. My mentor was Mark McCormack https:\/\/www.duck9.com\/uncategorized\/feb-20-march-12-2014-is-ut-entrepreneurship-week-2014\/<\/a> In short, I “trick” engineers to sell and promote. Cost= (-$200) Also known as cost equals a negative 200 bucks. Normally, at this point of the article, an author or copyblogger copywriter would sell you something after building up all that value It’s a negative $200 meaning I’ll pay you to organize an MVP (minimum viable party). Google: Larry Chiang Minimum Viable Party. You can either be a hamster and game the Scavenger Hunt of this… https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheet\/lv?key=0AjwjfedZC2bQdEUyWEljRTB5dFNBbHMtdkE0LTFDc0E&usp=sharing<\/a> Or look for my Easter Eggs centered around Engineering Entrepreneurship Easter Egg #1 = #ENGR145 Easter Egg #2 = #UTeWeek (I’ll fly u there to Austin for SXSW and get u UT dorm housing.
