entrepreneurship101 MaRS is continuing it’s Entrepreneurship 101 program for the 2009-2010. Entrepreneurship 101 is an introductory program aimed at providing the “nuts and bolts of building a business”. The program is a 16 week program aimed at providing the basics around starting a company. Topics include:

  • financing
  • defining markets
  • hiring teams
  • protecting intellectual property
  • raising capital

MaRS has done a great job publishing a Vimeo channel with all of the past content. These build on our Teaching Entrepreneurship with a local opportunity for Toronto entrepreneurs. This is a great way to see the theoretical side of entrepreneurship, but to gain exposure to entrepreneurial thinking and the basics of getting off the ground.
