The University of baby直播app Boulder will offer an intensive certificate course in entrepreneurship, taught by MBA baby直播app and open to the public, Aug. 17-22.
The course will expose students to the principles of entrepreneurship -- including techniques of market analysis, networking and funding -- through class discussions. It also will provide real-world experience through mentorship with entrepreneurs and work on individual projects.
鈥淭he program will give participants the actual tool sets they need to go out there and help themselves or help the company they work for,鈥� said Remy Arteaga, director of the听听at CU-Boulder鈥檚 Leeds School of Business, which is organizing Ideas 2 Action.
For completing the course -- which is scheduled over five roughly 12-hour days -- participants will receive a certificate from the Deming Center for Entrepreneurship.
鈥淎 lot of people don鈥檛 have time for a 12-week accelerator experience or a multi-semester MBA program,鈥� said Arteaga. 鈥淪o for people for whom it鈥檚 either this type of fast-paced workshop or nothing, Ideas 2 Action is a great option.鈥�
The cost of the course is $5,000 and several need-based scholarships -- from partial to full funding -- are available to applicants through the Deming Center.
鈥淚nitially, we looked into offering Ideas 2 Action specifically to veterans,鈥� said Arteaga. 鈥淚t could be hugely beneficial to them, but we鈥檝e opened the program to all after receiving feedback that there鈥檚 a need for the program among other groups as well. We could see it being useful to researchers with potential technologies to transfer to the commercial world, startup founders who鈥檝e recently received angel or venture capital funding, humanitarians with entrepreneurial service ideas, professionals and others.鈥�
The only academic requirement to participate is a bachelor鈥檚 degree or the equivalent experience.

鈥淭he fact that Ideas 2 Action is taught by MBA baby直播app is unique,鈥� said Arteaga. 鈥淲e wanted to make sure the program is of the same quality and ilk as our other courses at the听.鈥�
