MGMT 295A - Entrepreneurship and Venture Initiation 1 out of 3 of you will be your own boss at some point in your life -- and that doesn't include those of you that will join, invest in, or advise a startup, small business or spin-off! Whether you already have a startup pitch deck, a side hustle or just an inkling that you'd like to try one day, this class will equip you with a research-backed toolkit to help you take an idea and build it into an impactful company. The course consists of case discussions, lectures, guest speakers and a course-long startup project.
"The professor is energetic and engaging, the course content is well–organized and concise, and her delivery is clear. I think this course is a perfect intro to entrepreneurship. I like the designs that allow us to step by step explore the formation of a business!" "Amazing enthusiasm during each session, this made me more excited to take part in classroom discussions." "Love this course! Pretty useful and bottom–up. Not only theories but also examples to understand how to really start a business."
