Beyond Silicon Valley captures Goldberg’s own entrepreneurial journey as he experiments with the potential of the MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) to achieve its fundamental goal of education for all. For entrepreneurs seeking to understand the meaning of their own travails, as well as anyone interested in this unique and effective approach to sharing universal startup experiences, these stories can build resolve and galvanize actions. Conceived in 2013 by Goldberg, Beyond Silicon Valley developed as a way to share the lessons learned from the burgeoning Northeast Ohio entrepreneurial ecosystem, capitalizing on the MOOC as the vehicle to accomplish this audacious goal.
