ENI 4201 - Startup Incubation and Mentoring

3 Credit Hours
Prerequisites: ENI 4200E or permission of instructor.
Requirements: Must meet RCB upper division course requirements and 45 semester hours.

Description
This course follows the pattern of a typical internship course. However: you’ll be working for yourself (or team), you’ll be mentored by an “entrepreneur-in-residence” as an evaluator, and you will be paying yourself in equity (there may be additional emoluments). Upon admission, you’ll be assigned a slot in the incubator (space schedule, locker, mentor, resources, etc.) In the incubator, each student/team’s needs are assessed and additional resources brought to bear. You’ll have access to resources provided through the incubator (legal, financial, marketing, investors, etc) as needed, and available resources permit. The mission of the incubator (and this course) is to help you succeed. The onus is on you; faculty and mentors are facilitators, not guarantors. This course may include a Signature Experience component.
