Davidson College Business Bootcamps break down topics like business models, customer development, value propositions, basic legal issues, and other core skills/topics for starting a startup. During an optional follow-up, students form teams to create the materials for a startup (real or purely idea stage).
Why?
Its purpose is to help young entrepreneurs successfully execute a new venture. The course will concentrate on new enterprises based on substantial innovations with potential for high growth and funding by venture capitalists.
