The Oregon Duck mascot can teach us Stanford undergrad engineers a lot about entrepreneurship. As students at the best engineering school attached to a campus with the best business school, GSB, it’s important to learn from and get mentored by the best.<\/p>\n
As far as mascots go, the Oregon duck is ranked #1 in the Larry Chiang weighted average capital curve. Yes, Puddles edges out the MIT beaver mascot in capital created via entrepreneurship execution and education at the undergrad engineering level.<\/p>\n
Let’s take a deep dive into what we can tactically pattern replicate. Let’s benchmark Puddles and pattern iterate. Know that I pattern recognize the Oregon mascot to be legendary.<\/p>\n
-1- Puddles on getting a legendary internship.<\/p>\n
Every engineer can get paid to get educated. This is at the heart of getting a legendary internship. Similar to my talk at BASES, Puddles worked in the summer at ESPN.<\/p>\n
Here is Puddles working at ESPN where Ryan Spoon is VP of Platform. VIDEO:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Remember, before you create and co-found ESDN (Extra Special Duck Network) or D.u.C.K.11 (Deep Underground Credit Knowledge) or DCUK (Digital Credit Underground Knowledge)… You work at ESPN and later do a sequel business.<\/p>\n
Remember the lesson you learned at ENGR 145. Sequel businesses avoid the chasm Geoffrey Moore talks about and massively – Risk Mitigates And – Risk Eliminates<\/p>\n
ENGR145’s Anchor Concepts are “Lemonade and Gua Gua Guacamole”. Puddles mastery of the sequel concept moves you to the right on the entrepreneur bell curve <\/p>\n
-2- Spin Yourself Out from a Company You’ve Never Worked at.<\/p>\n
Puddles is a easy to love if you love Donald Duck. If you put an Oregon “O” sweatshirt on a Donald Duck. Basically Puddles spun himself out of the Disney corporation.<\/p>\n
Puddles knows that startup entities are way more risky and have uber high infant mortality. LC Mini concept corporations (#LCMCC) is what Puddles executes.<\/p>\n
In continuing with the above, ESDN (Extra Special Duck Network) is a spin out of ESPN<\/p>\n
D.u.C.K.11 (Deep Underground Credit Knowledge) is a spin out of Duck9<\/p>\n
DCUK (Dutch Connection United Kingdom) is a VC fund that mirrors FCUK<\/p>\n
-3- Integrating Comedy with Awareness and Education<\/p>\n
