Core questions (lecture):

How do I generate a business idea?
What aspects to consider when creating a business model?
How to put a product on a market?
How to get customer feedback early on?
Who do I need for a winning team?
The course does not close with a final exam. To have you take away the course essentials, we will test your knowledge repeatedly throughout the term in various ways.

Exercise:

Starting from your business ideas, you

will develop and present a business case. This will end in a prototype

that you test in the market.

The exercises are framed in a way to

challenge like an entrepreneur is challenged with various tasks every

day. You will learn that you are able to handle many things even if you

did not learn them before in any setting.

Core questions (exercise):

Interest in creating your own venture. Eagerness to get hands dirty.

Primary

objective is to equip students with knowledge and insights to execute

their own business ideas. Furthermore, we aim to motivate more HPI

students to think entrepreneurial.
