Hamburg University of Technology
Innovation marketing
Project seminar with work in existing startup/innovation projects: The aim of the course is to give students an insight into the practice of technology exploitation and innovation marketing. The technologies and product concepts are provided by so-called idea providers. These idea providers may be, among others, researchers at universities and project teams working in research institutions with a technical invention or (prospective) entrepreneurs with a business idea.
Within the course the student teams will analyze the market potential of technology-based inventions or business ideas. They will define potential target customers in the market. Another important question to answer is whether the market is still receptive for a given invention, or whether competitors have already exploited the full market potential. Finally, the student teams will also develop first ideas for the design of the marketing mix and write a report that is also handed to the idea providers.

Entrepreneurial Finance
Entrepreneurial finance is at the center of a clash of two very distant worlds: that of entrepreneurship and that of finance. Finance is disciplined, based on numbers and logical thinking and looking for proven track records. Entrepreneurship is messy, based on intuition and experimentation and treading off the beaten track. Entrepreneurial finance is the provision of funding to young, innovative, growth-oriented companies.
There is a variety of investors who can finance entrepreneurial companies. This course provides a thorough understanding of what motivates them, of the way they invest, and of what support they can provide to a company at what stage in the fundraising cycle. Thus, the course provides an understanding of the whole fundraising cycle, from the moment the entrepreneur conceived her idea to the moment investors exit the company and move on. We examine the entrepreneur’s signalling to investors of the qualities of the venture, the investors’ evaluation of the venture, the various dimensions of contracting (cash flow rights, control rights, compensation, and other clauses), the negotiation of a deal and the provision of corporate governance, the process of staged financing, the financing through debt, and the exit process though liquidity events such as initial public offering, sale or merger.

Startup Engineering
Startups are temporary, team-based organizations, which can form independently, but also within established companies. They pursue one central objective: taking a business idea to market by finding and designing a repeatable and scalable business model. This entrepreneurial process involves gathering and combining resources that you do not (yet) possess and dealing with high uncertainty about what combinations of resources actually generate value. This course module is designed to introduce students to a systematic Startup Engineering approach to master the process of taking a business idea to market in light of resource contraints and uncertainty.
Startup Engineering takes an iterative approach, in that it favors variety and alternatives over one detailed, linear five-year business plan to reach steady state operations. From a problem solving and systems thinking perspective, Startup Engineers create different possible versions of a new venture and alternative hypotheses about value creation for customers and value capture vis-à-vis competitors. To test critical hypotheses early on, Startup Engineers engage in an evidence-based, experimental trial-and-error learning process that measures real progress.
