At the start of the course, individuals will be matched with a team based on their interests and prior experience. Over the course of the 8 weeks, participants will explore key concepts relating to business development while working with their team to create a product. They will study topics from market analysis to minimum viable product creation, to pitching through lectures, videos, and readings. Simultaneously, teams will complete milestone assignments to progress their business idea into a real product. Our goal is for teams to grow their entrepreneurial thinking skills and complete the course with a successful product to launch.
