This course explores an updated perspective on entrepreneurship for the next generation – you! While entrepreneurship has grown more popular across our cultural narrative, the reality of entrepreneurship has narrowed: fewer new businesses incorporated in recent years than in the past 30 years. We will examine the current landscape of entrepreneurship everywhere, the mindset and tactics of successful entrepreneurs, opportunities to enter entrepreneurship through community and creative capital, and how to visualize a career around starting businesses.

 

Curriculum material is based on text from The New Builders, authored by successful investors and entrepreneurs, Seth Levine (Foundry Group, ~$3bn AUM) and Elizabeth MacBride (Times of Entrepreneurship, MIT Tech Review, Forbes).
