Inter-academic Entrepreneur School (IESSP) Kickoff

This post is a little late, but Friday marked the kickoff of the Inter-academic Entrepreneur School (IESSP).

Mentors, VCs, the organizing committee… The passion of everyone working together was incredible—it was the moment a new community centered on “entrepreneurship” was born (*^^*)

We will collaborate across the boundaries of educational institutions and organizations that promote entrepreneurship education to advance entrepreneurship education and stimulate entrepreneurial activity by offering joint curricula, appointing joint mentors, and facilitating matchmaking with venture capital firms and companies.

To begin with, we will launch a curriculum designed for the pre-seed stage that provides comprehensive training in the knowledge necessary for starting a business. Of course, this goes beyond classroom instruction to include presentations of business ideas, mentoring sessions with mentors, and pitches to venture capitalists and judges aimed at securing funding.

The number of people interested in participating quickly reached 150.

With that in mind, we hope you will continue to support the IESSP (Inter Academic Entrepreneur School Startup Program).
