DESCRIPTION:How can you better predict if a business will survive or fail
 ? How could that knowledge change your life immediately?\n\nThomas Thurs
 ton attempted to answer these questions in 2006\, while working as a man
 ager in Intel Capital’s internal corporate venturing group. Borrowing 
 from research on “disruptive innovation” by Harvard Business School 
 Professor Clayton Christensen\, Thomas developed methodologies that have
  since proven to be more than 80% accurate in predicting whether individ
 ual ventures will survive or fail.\nThree years and a Harvard fellowship
  with Christensen later\, Thomas is quickly rising as a global thought l
 eader in venture capital and investment methodologies using disruption f
 rameworks. As President of Growth Science International\, LLC he guides 
 Angel\, venture capital\, Fortune 500 and institutional investors using 
 disruptive methodologies. The author of published and peer reviewed work
 s including multiple Harvard Business School Case Studies\, Thomas holds
  a JD from Santa Clara University\, an MBA from the Thunderbird School o
 f Global Management and a BA from the University of Oregon. He is an ina
 ctive Member of the Oregon Bar.\n\nAfter the program in Suite 300\, we'l
 l meet for networking\, beverages and munchies in the OTBC space (suite 
 101).\n\nLocation: OTBC\, 12725 SW Millikan Way\, Suite 300 (reception i
