Turning Students into Entrepreneurs with Harmony Plus
June 10, 2020 (San Francisco, CA)
Future Entrepreneur Challenge
Entrepreneurship and innovation are invaluable aspects of business and society, for which the world would not be the same without. Through creative thinking and entrepreneurial spirit, the world continues to change and evolve, giving us new technologies and services that improve our life every day.
Here at Harmony Plus, we believe in the power of education as a tool to empower and inspire the next generation of leaders and innovators. Our Future Entrepreneur Challenge (FEC) equips students with the professional development, mentorship, and entrepreneurial skills they need to bring their ideas to life and make the world a better place.
The FEC is an 8-module program structured as a startup competition for students interested in entrepreneurship. Through this program, students develop a framework for understanding product development, idea evaluation, and customer discovery by validating their testable prototypes directly with their target audience. The program aims to provide essential entrepreneurial skills and tangible frameworks such as problem and solution evaluation, customer discovery, customer acquisition, business model design, MVP development, and value proposition design.
Through 16 hours of instruction and mentorship from experienced tech professionals, students will develop real products and pitch to a panel of Silicon Valley investors. Students will also foster lasting connections with prominent executives and gain important experience to help attain internships at high-growth startups.
