Melissa Berstein is co-founder of Melissa and Doug, an educational toy company started 26 years ago. Melissa is a Duke graduate who is on a crusade to prove that “real play”—open-ended, non-judgmental playtime driven by imagination—is the key to helping children develop the creative skills they need to thrive. In her Soar talk, she will share her story of building the company from her garage, pitfalls along the way, and a few key lessons she’s learned. This event is free and open to entrepreneurs (male and female) across the Triangle.
