Entrepreneurship

3 credits · Undergraduate

Whether you have an idea for a business right now, are interested in being an entrepreneur in the future, or want to build entrepreneurial skills to be an innovator at an established company, this course will cover the topics you need to know to succeed. The course takes students through the entire new venture process including how to: evaluate new business ideas, get customers to buy your product, validate that your business is scalable and profitable, pitch to investors/raise capital, scale and exit a business, and beyond. Through a group project, students create their own venture and learn by doing what entrepreneurs actually do. Each week students also get insights from successful entrepreneur/investor guest speakers.
