This course is designed to help students develop strong conceptual foundations for understanding the entrepreneurial underpinnings of successful technological innovations. It will introduce entrepreneurship concepts and frameworks for analyzing how firms can create, commercialize and capture value from technology-based products and services. The focus of the course is on business, commercialization, and management aspects of technology as developed by Purdue Computer Science students. The instructors will present lectures on entrepreneurial concepts in parallel with the development of potential software products by student teams.  At the beginning of the semester the teams will set up product websites, which will be updated regularly to reflect the products’ progress. At the end of the semester there will be a public  Product Workshop with product presentations, demos & posters. In so doing, this course will walk students through idea generation, opportunity analysis, and feasibility analysis of a new software-based product developed to the point of requiring financial support for completion of development. Course deliverables include a “beta” product, a mini-business plan, and a stand up investor presentation.
