ENT-H340 Crowdfunding the Venture
As nascent entrepreneurs how can you start or grow your business when you are undercapitalized while at the same time building brand awareness? One potential source of capital that allows for additional value creation (i.e., building a customer base and brand ambassadors) is crowdfunding. This course will examine, factors that lead to crowdfunding success during the creation (e.g., the idea, the pitch, the prototype, etc.) and maintenance (e.g., social presence) of a crowdfunding campaign as well as the execution of any promised deliverable. Focusing on an experiential process this course will guide student teams though the creation and execution of their own live crowdfunding campaign.
