The goal of this course is to deepen students’ understanding on entrepreneurial finance and business models. The content part is delivered through interactive lectures including video lectures outside the class. In Berlin, students will dive into the entrepreneurial ecosystem by visiting startups and companies in order to build a network of future partners. In this week, students will listen to guest speakers who will share their practical learnings and solve three interactive entrepreneurial case studies which account for 100 percent of the grade. Overall, the course aims to help students who consider starting their own company to build successful ventures.
