The course provides an introduction to the elements of high tech entrepreneurship - idea generation, business plan development, incubation, angel funding, venture capital, stock options etc. Some of the classes will be conducted in the form of seminars, where an entrepreneur is invited each time to answer questions from the class and share his views and experiences in starting a company or running a business. This allows students to learn about entrepreneurship by hearing first hand from people who have trodden the path. The seminar format provides ample opportunities for questions about risk taking, strategy, people management, business growth etc. Students would be able to relate theory learnt in class with practice in the real world.
