Installed in 2011, the granite plaques making up the Entrepreneur Walk of Fame are meant to celebrate the creators of organizations and innovations that changed the world, from Hewlett-Packard’s electronics to Apple’s computers to Microsoft’s operating systems to Lotus’s spreadsheet software. The Walk of Fame’s instigator, Bill Aulet, says the purpose of the installation is to help give budding entrepreneurs role models to celebrate.
