Course Description

This class provides students the opportunity to learn and experience “startup”. The course requires students to form teams around a new product or service concept and apply innovation tools such as design thinking and agile management to create new value. The resulting value proposition is pitched at a Northern Michigan’s Startup Week event. Course content includes startup concepts and processes, interviews with prior NMC student entrepreneurs, and interactions with the Traverse City startup ecosystem.
