Sometimes our most entrepreneurial students can feel constrained by a university setting. After all, who is not familiar with famous college dropouts who went on to be successful entrepreneurs like Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Mark Zuckerberg, and Steve Jobs?

This Spring, Leeds is听launching an exciting new class targeted to keep such promising students engaged. In New Venture Launch teams will compete for over $25,000 in non-equity funding over the course of the semester.听This class is focused on taking our students' hard work across campus and helping them make the transition to an actual functioning venture.

鈥淭he course is not for students that want to learn about entrepreneurship; this class is for cross-disciplinary teams of students who want to launch their venture or have the experience of helping to do so,鈥� said Jeff York, Deming Research Director and the instructor for the class.

The goal of the class is to translate an existing product, service, or opportunity into a real, functioning venture. Each venture will undertake typical business functions (legal, raising money, web presence, selling, innovation, marketing, managing cash, and managing operations) with minimal resources. The course will rely heavily on outside experts and speakers who have personal experience being or working directly with entrepreneurs and/or investors.

鈥淲e鈥檙e actively in the process of recruiting mentors from around the Boulder Ecosystem now,鈥� said York. 鈥淭hey are a key component of not only delivering the class, but helping our teams make the connections they need to succeed.鈥�

How to Apply

The course is actively seeking team applications consisting of business and non-business students (e.g. engineering, chemistry, physics, liberal arts, etc.) 鈥淲e find that the best ventures are composed of individuals from multiple disciplines,鈥� said York.
