Entrepreneurship is a way of thinking and acting in the world that creates positive impact through the development of new and better solutions to customer and societal problems. Entrepreneurs see the world differently, noticing problems that others have overlooked and using passion, creativity and business skills to craft new and better solutions that address those problems effectively and sustainably. In doing so, entrepreneurs create value for others and advance the common good, whether in a startup enterprise, or an established company, or in a social-impact enterprise. In this course, business students of all disciplines will get an introduction to the entrepreneurial process, gaining knowledge and experience in core practices of entrepreneurial discovery and creation. The course is experiential – students will learn by doing, whether through in-class exercises, an exploratory field study, or case study analysis and discussion. Students will learn how this process advances the common good and will identify how it can be deployed within multiple fields of study.

[This course will be delivered in a Prof + Prof model. For more information on the professional co-teaching the course, click here.] This limited-enrollment course provides students with in-depth experience analyzing venture capital opportunities in early stage, growth, and acquisition contexts. Coursework centers around a series of due diligence projects designed with start-up investors in the business community, and students present their investment recommendations to these investors at the culmination of each project. Intertwined with these projects will be topics such as product-market fit, customer discovery, financial modeling, deal structure, key metrics, raising search funds, and more. Students can expect to build a valuable skillset around identifying and pitching both critical success factors and potential risks in a deal, and they will exit the class with a portfolio of projects for resume building. As today's Entrepreneurship majors have access to a wide range of career choices, including opportunities in Innovation, Corporate Venturing, Venture Capital and Private Equity, this course will assist students in developing technical knowledge, critical thinking and experience with the key project areas they are likely to encounter.

Creation is at the heart of art and entrepreneurship. Both artists and business entrepreneurs go through multiple iterations to bring their unique vision to tangible outcomes. Grounded in this assumption, the Entrepreneurial Insight from the Music Industry course has two key objectives. First, using the specific context of the music industry, students will learn and experience the process by which ideas evolve, teams are built, and audiences are engaged. By engaging in a hands-on team project, students will understand the importance of cross-discipline collaboration, experimentation, and feedback in entrepreneurship. Students will explore the parallels between musical creation and business creation, and in doing so, will realize that a successful entrepreneurial journey requires the prototyping mindset that is at the core of the music creation process. Second, this course will help students understand the importance of engaging external stakeholders for business success. Using case studies and guest speakers from the local music industry and related fields, this course will offer students rich opportunities to map out the entrepreneurial ecosystem for musicians in the Twin Cities and to reflect on the impact of new business on the community and vice versa. For business majors, this course is an opportunity to apply their learnings in a new context and to expand their creative toolkit. For non-business majors, this course will be an opportunity to explore creativity, discover the disciplines of entrepreneurship in an accessible cultural context, and find inspiration to expand their own course of study.
