Great startups often come from founders who had their idea while at school or college. In this class, you’ll develop a roadmap to evaluate your potential startup idea without leaving school! Along the way, you’ll learn how to dramatically mitigate the risks involved in pursuing your idea and put yourself in the best possible position to succeed.

We’ll cover the necessary ingredients in starting a business, including generating, validating, and refining ideas for a new product. We’ll cover the development from idea generation, opportunity, recognition, entry strategy, and growth to get you on the path to a successful launch.

The goal of the course is for all students to participate in Start Up Weekend.
