XBIT 4700U – Venture Creation

The course will support students both academically and practically to move their business ideas through various stages with a final result of launching a functioning, viable business plan, product, or service. Working with the Brilliant Incubator or other community-based incubator programs, students will receive guidance, mentorship and assistance in all phases of their venture’s development.

This course differentiates itself from traditional business incubators by its dual ‘practical doing’ and ‘formal learning’ streams. Although many traits and talents that contribute to entrepreneurial success are often inherent within an individual, the course reflects the philosophy that skills and knowledge can be learned and acquired as a result of expert mentorship and guidance, especially when linked with a ‘practical doing’ component.
