This course will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of how startups and academic company spin-outs are created, funded, and managed, with the goal of helping students develop the skills needed to pursue a career in entrepreneurship. The two-week session will be divided into lectures, guest speaker sessions with audience Q&A, and student team working sessions. Core course topics include company formation, an introduction to venture capital and fundraising, product-market fit, IP protection, and differences between the US and China’s start-up ecosystems.

As part of this course, students will work in teams to design and pitch a new product concept to a panel of judges for live feedback. Students will submit a business plan along with their pitch, which will summarize the problem that their product aims to solve, a market analysis, competitive landscape, and growth strategy. By the end of the 2 week session, students should have a fundamental understanding of how to launch a start-up as well as the mechanisms by which venture funds raise money and deploy capital to support entrepreneurs.
