Founders' Dilemmas

By: Jeffrey F. Rayport
    ShareBar

    Description

    This course is for students who plan to become involved in new ventures, now or at mid-career, as founders of a new venture, early hires, early advisors, or board members, or as potential investors (e.g., VCs), customers, partners, or acquirers of new ventures

    The course is designed to help these potential founders, hires, and investors prepare for the decisions they will face both before and during their involvement with new ventures.

    Founders' Dilemmas examines the early, often difficult, decisions that have important long-term consequences for founders and their ventures. Potential consequences include losing control of their ventures, breaking up of the founding team due to tensions between founders, and jeopardizing the financial gains from their hard work and innovative ideas. The course's goal is to help students be much more informed about those long-term consdeqeunces before they make early choices that can lead to them. See the full course description on the MBA intranet.
