December 2018 Bootcamp
Boot Camp
Boot Camp for Innovation, Technology, & Entrepreneurship
December 20, 2018
Location: Haas School of Business || University of California, Berkeley
Classes will meet from December 20, 2018.
This program will provide a thorough exposure to both the concept and practice of entrepreneurship. The curriculum is shaped and delivered by world-class professors from UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business and successful entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley. The course combines classroom sessions with lectures and interactive activities as well as out of class exercises and assignments to provide you with the skills, culture, and networks you need to establish, operate, sustain, and scale new businesses. Upon completion of the course, participants will receive Berkeley-Hass certificates.
Participants will be introduced to the fundamentals of technology entrepreneurship, gaining familiarity with the processes that will allow them to go from ideas to implementation. The course will cover best practices on recruiting and retaining talent, forming teams, pitching ideas, raising capital, prototyping solutions, testing markets, selling and marketing products and services, and launching scalable enterprises capable of creating value in both economic and social terms. Participants will also learn how to define problems and determine which ones to solve, becoming familiar with formulating solutions that are “usefully different” from and superior to what exists on the market.
Throughout, theoretical and conceptual approaches will be supplanted by case studies and visits to Silicon Valley, where students will be exposed to practical examples of both budding and thriving startups, renowned technology companies, venture capitalists, angel investors, as well as incubators and accelerators. The course will be enriched by insights from entrepreneurs and VC’s, who will discuss their successes and failures, analyzing the lessons they have derived from each.
