ENG-SCI 30
No requirements.
Spencer Rascoff, Josh Lerner
Description: This course explores the stages of a startup business, from idea generation through its scaling stage through its eventual exit. Students will learn how to assess a startup idea, how to raise capital, how to grow teams, how to manage the company through adversity, and how to successfully sell a company. Based on two acclaimed courses at Harvard Business School – “Launching Tech Ventures” and “Scaling Tech Ventures” – the class is half lecture and half panel discussion and student presentations. Classes will draw from Professor Rascoff’s extensive startup experience (Zillow, Hotwire, Pacaso, Match Group) and several industry experts will join the class sessions.  Course Note: This course was previously offered as ES134.
