Venture School emphasizes real-world entrepreneurship through experiential learning, a flipped classroom and immediate feedback.

Your team will accelerate the startup process by testing your business hypotheses immediately. You will get out of the building to talk to customers, partners and competitors, rather than relying on static case studies and second-hand market research. You will encounter first hand the chaos and uncertainty of commercializing innovations and creating new ventures, and will be challenged to create your own business model, making pivots or preserving based on your findings.
