Social Problem Based Entrepreneurship
Develop a venture of your own to tackle global social problems
Over 3 weeks in India, the teams will conduct a “deep-dive” on the problem they have chosen and attempt to understand it holistically by meeting users, non-profits, researchers, other social ventures, regulatory agencies and more. During the spring semester back in New York, they will then conduct a need-gap analysis, build prototypes of their solution using human centered design techniques, develop their business model using Lean Launchpad methods and articulate strategy and mission statements.
