    Description
    Entrepreneurs start and grow businesses in home offices, garages, and even on public transportation using a laptop or smartphone. Social media and technology have leveled the playing field for the ordinary person wanting to become an entrepreneur. These entrepreneurs are finding creative ways of starting businesses, in spite of limited networks and financial resources. This course will introduce students to bootstrapping: limited-resource startup concepts and strategies. Additionally, this course will engage students by focusing on lean market strategies for testing product/service validity and identifying social media strategies, platforms, and tactics to launch their business, or expand their reach. Students will experience entrepreneurial situations and best practices through case studies, interactive sessions, and class exercises. Recommended Preparation: ENTR 1.
