The Furman University Innovation Lab is mentioned in an Upstate Business Journal article about spurring the entrepreneurial economy in the Greenville, South Carolina, region. Greenville native Mick Hunt, an entrepreneur, leadership consultant, podcaster and bestselling author, will be collaborating with the Innovation Lab based at the Flywheel Coworking space in the Crescent Startup Community off Poinsett Highway. Hunt says his motivations are simple. “We want, when people think of leadership and innovation and entrepreneurship, they think of Greenville and the Upstate.”
