    Description

    Start Up Strategy and Management
    Bussgang’s research focuses on applying Lean Startup principles to early-stage technology companies as well as the challenges and opportunities when scaling startups. His work led to the creation of the MBA elective course Launching Technology Ventures and dozens of case studies, teaching notes and HBR articles on startups, startup management and scaling startups. Bussgang’s research on deconstructing startup management and best practices led to the writing of his book, Entering StartUpLand, published by Harvard Business Review Press.

    Venture Capital
    Bussgang’s work on how to raise venture capital culminated in a book, Mastering the VC Game, published by Penguin’s Portfolio. He wrote a chapter on VC financing in the book Entrepreneur Readings: Partnering With Venture Capitalists. He also researches how to achieve alignment between entrepreneurs and venture capitalists.

    Minority Entrepreneurs
    Bussgang’s work on studying the unique challenges and opportunities for minority entrepreneurs has resulted in numerous cases (e.g., Black New Venture Competition, Collab Capital) and the course Scaling Minority Businesses.
