Shortly after Harvard xDesign, BerkleeICE students found another opportunity to share their startup work at MIT’s enterprise forum. The event captured neatly the BerkleeICE philosophy that entrepreneurship is about practice, exposure to new situations, and the incorporation of different modes of thinking. The audience heard from industry experts detailing big name rebrands for the likes of Spotify and Airbnb, as well as cross-discipline panels assembled to explore questions from disparate perspectives. Other presenters came from the New York Times, Spotify, and IDEO, which was represented by CEO and BerkleeICE advisory board member Michael Hendrix. The panel, comprised of representatives of DSGN CO, Beatlist, Sentio, Liedership, and Lucid Llama, exposed the students to the multi-disciplinary world of entrepreneurship. This year’s conference featured a panel of five Berklee Institute for Creative Entrepreneurship (BerkleeICE) startups engaging in a discussion focused on the issues surrounding student-led startups.
