Tech Entrepreneurship (APSC541\/BAEN506)<\/em><\/strong> has been running for over 25 years and has facilitated many entrepreneurial ventures and realized numerous successful breakout companies such as DWave<\/a>, Zymeworks<\/a> , Barrelwise<\/a> and Recon Instruments<\/a> – just to name a few.<\/em><\/p>\n

This course pairs graduate business and APSC\/STEM students to provide an experience-based introduction into the lean start-up process. It is a real-life simulation of the process that founders go through when starting a high-tech company. Students will be faced with the key issues involved in evaluating market opportunities, building a prototype, designing profitable business models, producing a solid business plan, raising capital, addressing legal considerations and developing a winning team. Students will gain the skills and tools to creatively commercialize high-tech research into profitable businesses. Teams will be expected to develop credible pitches that will be made to industry professionals. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Some of these student companies go on to participate in\u00a0<\/em>e@UBC<\/em>, the Hatch facility for hardware-based startups<\/a>,\u00a0 and Creative Destruction Lab<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

The core of the course runs on Wednesday evenings in January and there is one mandatory class that take place on November 29th, dedicated to team formation (6pm-9:30pm). \u00a0The course is taught by a team of business and STEM\/APSC instructors for a well-rounded business and technical perspective (Fraser Pogue<\/a>, Paul Cubbon<\/a>, Robin Coope,<\/a> and Jon Nakane)<\/a> and a selection of tech entrepreneurs in the local community.<\/em><\/p>\n

The course has an application process for admission as it is very competitive with an admission application deadline of November 15th. Further details regarding the course are available at <\/em>http:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/baen506apsc541techentrepreneurship\/<\/a><\/p>\n
