Each Fall and Spring quarter, students in the Entrepreneurial Marketing class serve as consultants on a marketing project for a startup, focused primarily on identifying their “best” customer prospects and how to acquire them.
Over the course of 10 weeks, student teams of ~5 students will work independently and in collaboration with chosen startup founders/teams to address the following:
-- Target market segmentation
-- Market sizing and selection
-- Product/market fit
-- Positioning
-- Whole product (including channel and partner strategies)
-- Customer acquisition strategies.
If you are interested in being a project for this course, please complete the form below.
Autumn projects begin the first week of October and spring projects begin the first week of April.
Following your submission, Laura Edwards, who manages experiential learning for Foster undergrads, will reach out to answer any questions you have. The instructor, Betsy Sperry, will set up a time to meet before making decisions about which projects to accept.
Please note, selection will be based on finding the best “match” for the course and student needs. This is no reflection on you or your business model. We may not be able to take all relevant and appealing projects because of class size.
