and with the academic advisors.

The class is under the ENGR 110 classification, but it is open for *juniors

it is a fully accredited NSF I-Corps™ Hub West course designed to be the
ultimate launchpad for students that have business ideas.

Benefits of the class:

discovery funding!

🤝 Expert Mentorship: Receive invaluable 1:1 guidance from seasoned,
real-world entrepreneurs.

🛠️ Master the Framework: Learn how to evaluate business ideas through
customer discovery and business model generation.

🌐 Expand Your Network: Work in dynamic teams and connect with a community
of fellow innovators.

📅 Class Details:

Dates: 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟯𝟭 – 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝗻𝗱, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲. The first and last
class are in person, the rest are done online!
Registration: Open now on R'Web!
