This is an experiential learning designated course designed to teach students about the role of angel investors in entrepreneurship. Through classroom discussions, readings and direct interaction with a startup company and angel investors, students will learn about the different aspects of startup funding. Working in collaboration with actual entrepreneurs, students will review a new product, assess the market, evaluate the team, and analyze the financial projections for a startup business. The results of this research will be used in a presentation given to the board of directors for the Northeast Ohio Student Venture Fund who will make an actual investment decision based on the student recommendations.
