Fall 2021 & Spring 2022 Offerings
Do you want to learn how to find a "problem worth solving?" Or, do you already have an idea for a problem you want to solve but aren't sure where to start? New Ventures Discovery is designed to lead you to a eureka moment by teaching you how to explore the world around you for problems worth solving and move from an idea to action.
💪🏾The New Ventures Discovery course is ideal for anyone who wants to excel at finding white space for new innovation and entrepreneurial action, whether that's as part of a larger organization or by launching a new venture. This course will strengthen your innovation-chops to make you an asset for any employer, including yourself!
🌈All stages of ideas are welcome, from a problem space to a specific solution you've been noodling on in the shower. Don't worry, if your problem sucks you are going to learn a ton AND you'll have a chance to change problems/projects mid-semester.
New Venture Discovery gave me the opportunity to dive deep into a super interesting problem that has an impact on our every day lives, the environment, and the bottom line at CPG companies (palm oil) while getting the chance to work with people outside my program (PhDs, Engineers, and undergrads) – it truly felt like the type of experience where you say “this is why I came to business school!”

New Venture Discovery is a great way for anyone interested in entrepreneurship to not only hear from founders of successful ventures, but also get firsthand experience with a cross-functional team to identify a problem worth solving, iterate on potential solutions and develop the foundation of a business plan
