Startup Development Summer 2015
Over the course of the 2015 summer, I pursued a large amount of self study in the area of creating successful start-ups. This self study is on-going.
This self study serves as a large portion of my research for the work that I am doing with the Cube, specifically my work to develop at a business acceleration program for the Senior Design Program at SMU for the 2015-2016 school year.
I watched all the lectures for the 2014 Stanford class CS 183B as well as read a large amount of books on start-up development.
Here is a list of the materials that I have read/watched so far:
