Karl Baehr is best known for his work in Emerson College as the man responsible for starting the school's entrepreneurial studies program in 2004. He did such a marvelous job that he was named as 2007's Top Professor of Entrepreneurship by Fortune Magazine. He was also responsible for creating the Emerson Experience in Entrepreneurship expo which pitted students in his entrepreneurship course against each other in a business competition. Aside from honing their entrepreneurial skills, this expo also linked Baehr's students with business contacts since venture capitalists were invited to the event.
Born in San Bernardino, California, Baehr started showing his entrepreneurial streak at a young age by raising money for his Catholic school and hiring his younger sister Lisa to make his bed for a nickel. He also became a musician, educator, and writer alongside pursuing his interests in business. He graduated from the Stephen F. Austin State University in Texas in 1981.
