Developing Entrepreneurial Skills

The Business Division of Marymount Manhattan College partnered with a non-profit organization 3DS to host an entrepreneurial event on November 7,8 and 9. The objective of the weekend intensive was to develop entrepreneurial skills by using the ‘learning by doing’ approach.  On Saturday, mentors from the business world helped student teams to define a problem, propose a solution and create a compelling message to market the product. On Sunday, students practiced their skills and in the evening they presented their ideas to venture capitalists who gave them useful feedback.  The program started with 17 students presenting their individual ideas, and ended with two teams comprising 10 students who presented a final ‘pitch’ to an audience.  Here are some photographs of the entrepreneurship event.
