Class Details:
Class Number: EAEP 488
Credits: 3
Location: Dinsdale Learning Commons, East Campus
Class Description:
It’s time to get ready to launch! This class builds off the previous class, Business Development I (EAEP 388), and takes it to the next level.
The last class was all about testing your new concept. Is this idea worth pursuing? Do you have a grasp on the potential customer? Do you have a firm idea on a go-to-market strategy?
Once you’ve done enough customer discovery to answer all those questions, it’s time to get serious. Business Development II takes a tested business idea and builds a plan to launch it.
Specifically we’ll focus on building:
- A finance overview including breakeven, cashflow, amortization, depreciation, startup costs and payroll expenses.
- An assessment of critical risks.
- A plan to fund your business.
- A full business plan.
You’ll walk away from this class ready to take your business idea and turn it into reality.
Be prepared — this class isn’t easy. Starting a business is tough, but we think the struggle is worth the end product.
