Information
Description
This lecture is the course to take at Sciences Po if one is interested in the entrepreneurial universe. It is not only designed for future start-uppers, but to all of those who wish to obtain a first entrepreneurial culture, said culture which is not only useful to launch a start-up, but also to work in any innovating structure. Each session tackles a dimension of the entrepreneurial adventure and deals with the deconstruction of pre-conceived notions, amongst which: (1) The idea: the myth of the amazing idea (or entrepreneurship reserved only to creative people); (2) The money : do we really need money to get started ? If yes, how to get funded?; (3) The partners : is it good to partner up? If yes, how to choose with whom to partner up? The shareholders; (4) The product : knowing the customer's need; how to know it's a relevant product ? Etc. Harvard Business School method.
