Description
The 1Mby1M Methodology is based on case studies. In this 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.
I was a grad student at MIT when I started my first venture in 1994. It was before the Internet became mainstream. In fact, it was my generation that facilitated this transition. As such, I had to learn on the job, by making a lot of my own mistakes.
Today, students - University, College, High School - are equipped with a tremendous amount of online knowledge sources to learn entrepreneurship rapidly and efficiently. While dropping out of college has become acceptable, my recommendation still remains that you finish your degree. Sure, Bill Gates dropped out. Sure Mark Zuckerberg dropped out. Sure Steve Jobs dropped out. But that doesn’t mean everyone who dropped out succeeded. Your probability of career success still improves with a college degree.
However, you can start your entrepreneurial journey while still in school and get things going.
In this course, and in the rest of my Udemy courses, you have access to case studies of entrepreneurs who have done it before.
Make a habit of spending an hour with an entrepreneur or two everyday through these courses.
Observe how they did it.
Pay attention to the decisions they made.
Find inspiration.
Find education.
I have no doubt that you can emulate their success.
Who this course is for:
- Ambitious entrepreneurs with limited resources who are still in school, yet are eager to start validating and building their businesses.
- Engineers who want to turn their tech knowledge into multi-million revenue businesses by becoming startup founders rather than remain employees.
- Non-tech founders who want to build startups as student entrepreneurs.
- Aspiring founders who want to increase their chances of getting accepted into a top startup accelerator such as Y Combinator, Techstars, and 500 Startups.
- Any entrepreneur who wants to learn from successful entrepreneurs who have done it before and from investors who have supported them.
- Professors teaching technology entrepreneurship courses anywhere in the world.
