Liesha Petrovich

Liesha’s passion lies in the crossroads of education and business. As a small business owner for 20 years, she’s the Chief Savant and co-founder of Startup University, and is the founder of Microbusiness Essentials . She’s also an instructor for the University of the People, the world’s first non-profit, tuition- free, accredited online university. Liesha’s working on a Doctorate in Entrepreneurship, with an emphasis on small business challenges. But she knows that traditional business education isn’t exactly what new business owners need. That’s why she’s so dedicated to Startup University’s approach to affordable and realistic business education – education that students can apply directly to their business. In her free time, you’ll find her happily wasting the days away at her camp in Hope, Maine. Get in touch with Liesha on Twitter or her personal website.
