Group study of selected topics.

Have you worked on a startup, participated in a Challenge Lab, Big Ideas Competition, participated in a startup incubator, and/or have comparable startup experience? Well, then you know what it takes to go from exploring an idea, designing & validating a prototype, to product development and leading the team to deliver its full potential. This advanced course is a collaborative learning environment designed to develop your entrepreneurial leadership, coaching, team building skills, and decode success patterns to further your entrepreneurship journey. Throughout this course, you will be able to work on your existing projects and ideas with a group of experienced peers, get inspired by diverse journeys from guest speakers in a variety of startups and industries, and learn/practice frameworks and methodologies through hosting mentorship events and 2+ workshops in partnership with the SCET Innovation Student Fellows Program and SCET Challenge Labs. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intentions have been shown to be enhanced via processes that combine learning with hands-on teaching, and mentoring. The current model of Entrepreneurs in Residence [EIRs] typically include successful entrepreneurs in venture capital firms, private equity firms, startup accelerators, to teach, mentor and provide support to other startups in an entrepreneurial ecosystem. Being an Innovators in Residence [IIRs] is being an EIR-in-training: a forum to deeply understand patterns of “successful” and “not-so-successful” entrepreneurship ventures in various domains, and develop an evidence-based understanding of success in entrepreneurship. You will also develop a nuanced understanding of elements that lead to success (or not) by leading and coaching students that have little experience developing revolutionary and disruptive ventures in both the for-profit and social enterprise sectors.
