Student testimonials
Really great course that allows you to get your hands dirty in the world of entrepreneurship.
The texts were really terrific. Probably some of the best texts in support of the course material I’ve seen.
Really liked the way we moved from an idea to a product/service in the class. I loved the way we tied a business model to this equation.
Excellent design of the course work, practical, and possibly life-changing!
Good course! A pleasant departure from the regular coursework.
I liked everything in this course. Instructor, mentors, assignments, presentations, etc.
It was a great to learn how to start a business but actually going out and trying to do so for a class.
Incredibly useful class that gave me skills I’ll use even if I don’t go on to do entrepreneurship specifically. The one-on-one feedback was also very impressive, and the connections and chance at winning money at the end of the class was great as well.
The level of engagement from the instructor and mentors and collaboration between online and in-person students – it was incredibly beneficial for feedback on the term project.
The instructor and guest mentors were great.
