The first time he attended a formal business class was when he spoke to a marketing class at the UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School about his success as an entrepreneur. EntrepreneurshipBuck Goldstein has been involved in entrepreneurship most of his professional life.[1] After four years of working at a corporate law firm, he co-founded Information America, an online information company that was the first to make courthouse information available from remote terminals in lawyer’s offices. The business began as a two-person start-up and grew to over $40,000,000 in revenues, eventually going public and trading on the NASDAQ.[4] Customers included virtually every major law firm in the United States, most of the Fortune 500 and many large federal agencies including the FBI, the DEA and the CIA.[4] In 1994, Information America was acquired by West Publishing, the largest legal publisher in the world and soon after was acquired by Thomson Corporation, a multi-national information publishing company.[4] He later founded NetWorth Partners, a venture capital fund focusing on information based enterprises with Mellon Ventures as its largest investor and subsequently became a partner in Mellon Ventures, a subsidiary of Mellon Bank.[4] As a partner, Goldstein invested in a number of emerging businesses and served on the Board of Directors of over 15 companies.[4] More recently, Goldstein served as Chairman of MedFusion, a Raleigh-based medical information technology company acquired by Intuit in 2010, and as Board Observer and advisor for iContact, an email marketing company based in the Research Triangle Park acquired by Vocus in 2012.[1] Additionally, Goldstein has served as an advisor to Liquidia, a nano-technology company founded in the UNC chemistry department,[1] and as a Board member of Nourish International, a non-profit organization that engages college students across the United States in on campus social businesses and international poverty reduction projects.[5] Over the years, Goldstein has served on numerous boards in a variety of capacities including Chairman of the Institute of Arts and Humanities Advisory Board at UNC-Chapel Hill, President of the Atlanta Chapter of the American Jewish Committee, and Board Member of the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. Goldstein joined the university faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2004 to help build The Carolina Entrepreneurial Initiative{{dead link|date=July 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, a multi-year, multimillion-dollar project to make a broad definition of entrepreneurship part of the intellectual culture of the campus and support students and faculty to turn innovative ideas into self-sustaining enterprises.[4] The UNC entrepreneurship curriculum has been named by a variety of national publications as among the nation’s best.[6] Goldstein recruits alumni and other university supporters with entrepreneurial expertise to serve as mentors for faculty and student projects and to provide off-campus internships for students. As Professor of the Practice at the university, he teaches both small seminars and large lecture courses in entrepreneurship and supports the continuing development of the undergraduate Minor in Entrepreneurship and its internship program. "I want to make entrepreneurship a part of the fabric of the university," Goldstein said in an interview, "We want to develop both business and social entrepreneurs. We want to give students and faculty members the tools to turn ideas into reality." [7] Goldstein and Chancellor Holden Thorp co-authored Engines of Innovation – The Entrepreneurial University in the 21st Century, suggesting that the top 125 U.S. research universities can play a crucial role in revitalizing the American economy. Goldstein and Thorp are also working to transform UNC, a 29,000-student public university, into an engine of innovation.[8] Awards and Publications
