Our Inspiration

"Entrepreneurship is the pursuit of opportunity beyond the resources currently controlled."

– Howard H. Stevenson

Howard H. Stevenson

Howard H. Stevenson is Harvard Business School's "father of entrepreneurship" and most influential professor in history in defining the field. Howard coined what Inc Magazine proclaimed to be the "best definition of an entrepreneur ever." He was Harvard's Vice Provost, the founding president of famed hedge-fund, Baupost, and chair of NPR.

Pravi's origin can be traced to the relationship between Howard and one of Pravi's co-founders, Eric Sinoway. Initially introduced when Eric undertook an independent study with Howard at Harvard, the two have collaborated for almost 20 years.

"Long before artificial intelligence began generating answers, Howard was teaching people how to make better decisions."

Principles in Practice

Pravi CEO Eric Sinoway is a keynote speaker who addresses one of the defining leadership challenges of our time: as technology expands what is possible, who remains accountable for the decisions that shape organizations and lives? He speaks to leadership teams, groups, and conferences about ways to think in a moment of uncertainty.

Eric's speeches help leaders strengthen judgment, decision making, and accountability in the age of AI by utilizing Pravi's Humans Still Matter Operating Lens, Decision Wisdom Framework, and Five Principles for Life & Leadership in the age of AI. These tools provide practical lessons to help organizations determine what should be delegated to technology and what must remain an act of human judgment, and for making deliberate trade-offs, choosing what matters, and owning consequences over time.
