THE WEB SUMMIT STARTUP GAME

This course is for entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship students that want to learn how to get the most out of the participation on an extremely large event such as Web Summit.

In this course we will train you on what you need to do before, during and after the such types of event to help you focus on your interests and avoid a passive attitude. We will do this by offering daily challenges and goals in the form of a game that will appeal to your competitive side while, simultaneously, providing the opportunity to apply the skills and tools that you will learn in the first day of the course. "

In the end the students will have learned: how to conduct an interview, how to find and act on an opportunity, how to identify and use the resources that you already have, to understand a business model, what investors look for in the different stages of a startup, the difference between reading about entrepreneurship and talking with entrepreneurs and, finally, the value of getting out of the classroom.

More info can be found in the full programme or on the Web Summit homepage.
