About
MoE is the first digital museum dedicated exclusively to entrepreneurship, which collects and displays stories from the entrepreneurs of our time. By sharing these tales of entrepreneurs from around the world, we aim to teach and inspire people in their own future endeavours. Our core focus is to reach out to young people from all walks of life, showing them that entrepreneurship does not belong to any specific gender, race, time or place; in truth, anyone can be an entrepreneur!
In this way, we hope to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurial spirits and help them choose the type of hero they want to become.
The Museum of Entrepreneurship brings together people from various backgrounds and diverse expertise but sharing the same dedication and passion for entrepreneurship.
Founder
Dr Stefania Zerbinati
FOUNDER
Stefania has researched and taught entrepreneurship for over 15 years. She is a passionate academic with a love for practice, and she has engaged with and advised entrepreneurs across several industries and at different stages of development. Stefania is the founder of the museum. She takes part in every organisational and financial aspect of the museum, as well as participating in the writing and creation of the video-stories. She keeps expanding her strong network of seasoned and new entrepreneurs to feed new stories into the production.
The project has been possible thanks to a collaboration with the film company Frinin & Bok, an independent company whose films have gained selections to festivals including Venice Film Week and the Miami Independent Film Festival. Its founders Ilya Melnikov and Jonny Pert are responsible for every artistic and technical aspect in the creation of the video-stories, which represent the soul of the museum.
