Startup Wars is on a mission to inspire, educate, and empower the entrepreneurs of tomorrow.
They feel that the best way to truly learn how to be a leader in innovative thinking is to experience entrepreneurship first hand.
Startup Wars created business lessons that are based on real-life stories, putting together the true experiences of business founders, paired with the teaching tools provided by educators.
This innovative work creates the leaders of tomorrow.
Teaching Entrepreneurship
"Success in business requires training and discipline and hard work."
The key academic lessons on how to successfully run a company are taught through simulations right in the classroom setting.
These simulations replicate the environment of an office and startup environment, covering all of the basics of business.
The Startup Wars entrepreneurial training program allows students to learn to make key decisions in a startup work environment, like:
- How many team members are needed
- Which position is best to hire first
- How to distribute the workloads between employees
- How to come up with innovative ideas and strategies
- How to innovate a product that is unique
- What city to choose for their business
How To Teach Entrepreneurship To College Students
"Wherever you see a successful business, someone made a courageous decision."
Through simulation experiments and entrepreneurship activities, new ways of thinking and decision making are emphasized and discovered.
This business skills training encourages a college student to develop an innovation mindset – to learn critical business skills for success. This will help guide them through the needed actions to get a startup started.
Trouble-shooting is experienced first hand through innovation practice and innovative thinking games. Such as, what can happen if you make the wrong decisions and you have no revenue? In the safety of a classroom, students find the answers to this, and more.
The professors customize the simulation and innovative thinking workshops, changing the business curriculum and scenarios each time. This teaches aspiring entrepreneurs how to strategize their decision making.
Simulation allows students the opportunity to see a log of their choices and to learn from their mistakes.
Simulation Is The Future
"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing."
Typical business education courses or lectures do not give students the same opportunity to develop the much desired innovative thinking that hands-on simulation does.
Startup Wars provides a means for students to apply academic lessons directly in the classroom setting.
Analytical thinking, innovative ways, opportunity recognition, smart decision making and business logic skills are developed to give the future entrepreneurs of tomorrow the confidence needed to create.
