If you are interested in either starting your own for profit or social enterprise or working on a startup team, this is the course for you. You will receive real world, hands-on experience to gain understanding of what it’s like to actually start a scalable company or enterprise.

You will work in teams learning how to turn a great idea into a great company. You’ll learn how to use a business model canvas to brainstorm each part of a company and customer development to get out of the classroom to see whether anyone other than you would want/use your product. You will be talking to customers, partners, competitors, as you encounter the chaos and uncertainty of how a startup actually works.
