The EBP class is an incubator of sorts, where students take an idea, develop, and test it, to create a full-fledged, competition-ready business plan and pitch. Prof. Maureen Burke and David Cromwell will discuss how the class works, the application process and what makes for a good idea for the class. A list of attendees will be collected and shared, so that people can start forming teams. This course is for 2nd years and MAMs, and runs Fall 2 to Spring 1. It is highly recommended for those who wish to get some experience starting a business. EClub will hold an idea pitch session to help students form teams later in the fall.
