Description
The 1Mby1M Methodology is based on case studies. In each course, Sramana Mitra shares the tribal knowledge of tech entrepreneurs by giving students the rare seat at the table with the entrepreneurs, investors and thought leaders who provide the most instructive perspectives on how to build a thriving business. Through these conversations, students gain access to case studies exploring the alleys of entrepreneurship. Sramana’s synthesis of key learnings and incisive analysis add great depth to each discussion.
Sramana believes, strongly, that entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial capitalism can be democratized, and wealth can be created in the middle of the pyramid using capitalistic principles. In the next 2-3 decades, the potential for distributed capitalism is very high and the outcome should be extremely positive around the world. That is the mission upon which her current work with One Million by One Million is based.
1Mby1M has had much success in helping techie entrepreneurs learn the nuances of technology entrepreneurship and make the transition to successful entrepreneurs by learning the business side of startups.
In this course, we offer case studies of entrepreneurs who have made this transition successfully, in their own words.
Through these case studies, developers who are aspiring entrepreneurs can learn what the journey entails.
