Arthur Willson (’19), SimpullCork

“I’ve always seen the world in a novel and original way, but it wasn’t until I became involved with the Center for Entrepreneurship that I discovered my true passion for entrepreneurship. I’ve been fortunate enough to engage with the phenomenal faculty and mentor network of the center through launching my first venture, SimpullCork. Being a part of Startup Lab, ACC InVenture Prize Competition, Deacon Springboard, TEDxWakeForestU, and Red Bull Launchpad taught me that no is never the answer, failure isn’t final unless I quit, and challenges present me with the greatest opportunity for innovation and ideation.”
