MS&E 272: Startup Boards
Accelerate your startup through hands-on guidance from your own "board of directors" comprised of venture capitalists and experienced entrepreneurs. Like real startup boards, your board will help your team identify critical milestones, assist in achieving them, and hold your team accountable through regular board meetings. Learn how to avoid common mistakes that lead to ineffective board meetings, fired CEOs, and startup failures. Experience the other side of the table as a board member for another startup and learn the principles of effective board services. Topics include building boards, managing board meetings, making strategic decisions, executing board responsibilities, and replacing CEOs. Limited enrollment. Admission by application. Preference given to teams with demonstrated commitment to a viable startup business.
