How does the entrepreneurship process enable the creation and growth of high-impact enterprises? Why does entrepreneurial leadership matter even in a large organization or a non-profit venture? What are the differences between just an idea and a true opportunity? How do entrepreneurs form teams and gather the resources necessary to create a successful startup?
Mentor-guided projects focus on analyzing students' ideas, case studies allow for examining the nuances of innovation, the research examines the entrepreneurial process, and expert guests allow for networking with Silicon Valley's world-class entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. Undergraduates of all majors with an interest in startups, leverage breakthrough information, energy, medical, and consumer technologies. No prerequisites. Limited enrollment.
