Students come in with a business idea and through a vetted process take it to launch stage in just a few weeks!
Graduates move on to become a member of VFA, young entrepreneurs club and a TA position, depending on their engagement and understanding of the course.
Besides the completion certificate, their letter of recommendation can be uploaded on the common app as an external recommender.
