Course Content
This is a predominantly case-based course structured to lead students through the evolution of a tech venture, from concept to exit. The goal is to understand the specific nuances that new companies in the tech industry face. In addition to cases on leading tech companies, students will utilize a variety of sources (including the WSJ and online tech publications) for project work and to keep the conversation current and relevant. The course is not about building and launching a tech company, but rather an opportunity to firmly understand the ever-evolving tech industry as a whole.
