Students will learn the in’s and out’s of primary market research, iterative solution development, marketing and sales, basics of small business finance, and legal and accounting considerations. At the end of the course, they will have a real business they can launch and run as a side hustle.

What people say

“This course got me to think about how to set up a successful business. Not only that but how much trial and error must go into it. I really liked the structure and how free we were to explore our own individual businesses.”
