Fall. 1 credit. Letter grades only.

Enrollment limited to: Cornell Tech students. Offered at Cornell Tech in New York City.

G. Pass.

This studio-based course helps students develop their ability to imagine, recognize, develop, and improve startup ideas. In each class, students learn a different approach to product ideation or product critique, then practice that approach, working in many different teams, and often with the advice of visiting entrepreneurs, VCs, domain experts, and other practitioners. Students invent and explore hundreds of startup ideas, and help each other evaluate and improve those ideas. By the end of the course, students self-organize into co-founding teams around specific startup ideas that they will execute on in Startup Studio the following semester.
