Editor's Note: This is part two of a two-part series on Dartmouth graduates and entrepreneurship. Correction appended The launch of the company Gyrobike, which sells bike-stabilizing devices, would not have been possible without the help of the entrepreneurial staff at the Tuck School of Business and the Dartmouth Entreprenurial Network, according to the company's CEO, Daniella Reichsletter Tu '07. The company is among many that have been founded by Dartmouth graduates with the help of College resources, several alumni said in interviews with The Dartmouth. Reichletter, who attended Georgetown University, said she had limited exposure to entrepreneurship as an undergraduate. "I didn't even know what the entrepreneurship options were, so I took an investment banking job after school," she said, adding that Tuck eventually fostered her desire to start her own business. "Dartmouth is a school that attracts people who would make great entrepreneurs," Rodrigo Ramirez, outreach and program coordinator at Career Services, said.
