Entrepreneurship in the Wild

This capstone course is designed to leverage the knowledge students have gained in previous entrepreneurship courses to enable them to test the business case for an early-stage venture. This course takes a highly experiential approach to entrepreneurship by challenging students to practice entrepreneurship outside the classroom (i.e., ?in the wild?). Students will begin by identifying a testable problem-solution space that will be approved by the instructor. Next, students will iteratively move their ideas forward by validating the assumptions underlying them with industry experts and potential customers using a Business Model Canvas. Finally, students will test their business models in the marketplace.
