Today’s episode of Keeping Up with Gen Y features Stephanie Kaplan, the fourth guest in our new monthly series, “Y Gen Entrepreneurs.” The series focuses on the stories of young movers and shakers as they navigate their way through the challenges and joys of being their own boss.
Along with fellow Harvard undergrads Windsor Hanger and Annie Wang, Stephanie co-founded and is CEO of Her Campus Media, an online magazine for college women, produced entirely by the nation’s top student journalists. Stephanie joins Keeping Up with Gen Y to talk about the importance of finding the right business partners when beginning a new company. She also challenges would-be young entrepreneurs to move past the need for certainty and take that plunge into the start up pool.
New episodes of the “Y Gen Entrepreneurs” series airs every second Wednesday of the month.
