Design: An Entrepreneur's Loaded Dice
Start-ups are all the rage, but for every Warby Parker, GoPro or Uber success, there are thousands of “Friendster” gravestones out there. How does today’s entrepreneur balance risk and rewards? What defines a successful brand? Why is design the key to winning? 

At twenty-five, Ken Carbone chose to “roll the dice” and started a design business in New York City. Now almost forty years later that same entrepreneurial spirit drives the Carbone Smolan Agency, resulting in a world class clientele ranging from start-ups to legendary institutions. Ken’s highly visual presentation reveals the fundamentals: what it takes for designers and businesses to collaborate, sustain success, and have fun doing it every single day.
