Lecture by Mr. Steven Liew<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Four lectures are prepared to bring students through all the different elements needed to build a successful business out of a problem and an idea. Finally, it introduces students to the different ways Startups raise funds as they grow. The subject includes two consultation sessions where students consult the instructors and guest lecturer regarding their proposals. Students would end the subject finale with a Startup pitching session. The brief outline of the lectures in 2021 is as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lecture 1. Introduction to startup and development of problem statement<\/strong>
In this session, students were given an overview of the startup ecosystem, emphasizing venture capital-backed startups and their paths to publicly traded companies. At the same time, the lecturer introduced students to a widely adopted template used by the startup industry to develop a business from just an idea. Students also learned how to accurately develop a problem statement that would resonate with investors and customers. In the end, students would learn to develop their proposed solution(s), which would hopefully address the biggest potential market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lecture 2. Building a Winning Team<\/strong>
In this session, students learned about one of the most critical factors affecting the success of a startup business, which is to build a winning team. The lecturer shared some of the more importantly mental and emotional ingredients needed to create a winning team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lecture 3. How to Go to Market<\/strong>
In this session, students reviewed case studies to learn how startups go from developing prototypes, testing the prototypes with friends and families to figure out the product-market fit, and then launching the product to the broader market with great go-to-market campaigns. The students ultimately got the message that there is no such thing as \u201cBuild it, and they will come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lecture 4. Fund Raising and Exits <\/strong>
In this final session, students were introduced to the many methods to fund their startups; specifically, students learned about the different types of venture investors operating in the startup ecosystem. They would be provided with investors\u2019 expectations when it comes to return on investments and potential exits. By the end of the last lecture, students were provided with a sample of \u201cpitch deck\u201d to prepare for their Startup pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
