Daniel (Dan) Isenberg was raised in Woods Hole Massachusetts, studied and taught at Harvard, and then started raising a family in Cambridge and then in Israel. In Israel Dan entered the world of entrepreneurship as teacher, investor, policy advisor and entrepreneur. With four grown kids, in 2005 Dan moved back to Boston to teach again at HBS, which led to his divorce. In 2009, Dan left the classroom and, at first in collaboration with Babson and later independently, went out into the field to innovate methods for stimulating broad-based prosperity with entrepreneurship, leading to the concept of "entrepreneurship ecosystems," which he pioneered. A prolific professional writer, Dan has over 35 HBR articles, 40 HBS cases, a successful business book ("Worthless, Impossible, and Stupid: How Entrepreneurs Create and Capture Extraordinary Value." HBR Press 2013), and a children's book ("The Friends of Kelev Shmelev" in Hebrew). In 2013 Dan met Carla Cefaliello, an Italian neuroscientist doing research at the Marine Biological Laboratory. They fell in love and from 2015 built a life together in Boston and Woods Hole. In 2020 Carla was diagnosed with a rare cancer, and three years after massive surgery, discovered that it had spread. It killed her nine months later in December 2023, after a fierce and determined battle and search for a treatment.
