Welcome to the ENGR 145 (E145) course website.
E145: Technology Entrepreneurship examines the fundamentals of technology entrepreneurship. This website is a reflection of how the course was taught in Fall 2010 by Professor Tom Byers. For the site dedicated to the Fall 2011 course (OSPFLOR 63, taught at the Florence campus), please click here.
How do you create a successful start-up? What is entrepreneurial leadership in a large firm? What are the differences between an idea and true opportunity? How does an entrepreneur form a team and gather the resources necessary to create a great enterprise? This class mixes mentor-guided team projects, in-depth case studies, research on the entrepreneurial process, and the opportunity to network and ask questions of Silicon Valley's top entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. For undergraduates of all majors who seek to understand the formation and growth of high-impact start-ups in areas such as information, green/clean, medical and consumer technologies. No prerequisites are necessary. It also satisfies the Technology in Society requirement for most engineering majors.
E145 is an undergraduate course sponsored by the Stanford Technology Ventures Program (STVP), which is the entrepreneurship center located in Stanford's School of Engineering. Typically, this course is offered throughout the year: in the Fall with Professor Tom Byers, in the Winter with Professor Chuck Eesley, and in the Summer with Professor Tom Kosnik. For information on other Stanford entrepreneurship courses, see the STVP courses website or this handout on undergraduate entrepreneurship courses.
