Principled Entrepreneurial Decisions

The Principled Entrepreneurial Decisions program, as also taught at Stanford, offers a holistic approach to addressing the challenges that entrepreneurs encounter when building startups and managing companies. By focusing on the interplay between personal values and decision-making, participants gain invaluable insights into how instilling values and principles can significantly enhance the quality of their decisions. Moreover, the program sheds light on the lens through which investors evaluate entrepreneurial ventures, providing participants with a deeper understanding of the criteria that guide investment decisions.

Furthermore, participants delve into the principles that Angels and Venture Capitalists (VCs) use as the foundation for their investment strategies, equipping them with the knowledge to navigate fundraising processes effectively. Additionally, the program explores how entrepreneurial principles can be leveraged to empower formal instruments of company culture, craft effective strategies, and scale businesses using key metrics.

As part of the program's experiential learning approach, participants engage in live case studies featuring renowned companies like Flix, ProGlove, askLio, Fernride, Groupon, SevDesk, Inveox with more to be announced. These real-world examples offer participants practical insights and actionable strategies to apply in their own entrepreneurial endeavors. Join us in the Principled Entrepreneurial Decisions program to embark on a transformative journey towards building sustainable, values-driven ventures that make a lasting impact. Apply now to seize this opportunity for personal and professional growth.
