About this Event
The workshop will cover choosing the right status, understanding taxation, advantages/disadvantages of each, how each relates to raising capital and other important information to consider before starting and incorporating your business.
The workshop will be taught by Michael Sherrod, currently the William M. Dickey Entrepreneur in Residence at TCU’s Neeley School of Business. Michael began his career by starting a magazine publishing company right out of grad school. Over a few years he added 7 additional media properties to the original magazine. He transitioned from the print world into the online world in 1985 when he helped manage Star-Text, a video-text news service at the Star-Telegram, owned at the time by CapCities/ABC.
In his career Michael has founded or co-founded 18 companies, including Black Dove Media, DigitalCity.com, AOL Local, Examiner.com and the AddLibra Corporation. Additionally, he has served in senior management roles and started new companies inside CapCities/ABC, AMR Information Services, AOL, Ancestry.com, and The Anschutz Companies. In 2010, he served as the first Publisher of The Texas Tribune (www.texastribune.org), a non-profit, non-partisan media site covering Texas government, politics, and public policy and was a founding board member.
Professor Sherrod holds a B.A. from the University of Notre Dame, where he studied in the interdisciplinary Great Books Program, an M.A. in Journalism from the University of Missouri at Columbia and an EMBA from The Neeley School of Business at TCU.
