Entrepreneurial Analytics introduces a set of foundational skills that enable individuals and teams to evaluate business ideas in entrepreneurial settings. This setting provides a unique context because actors (1) often operate under conditions of uncertainty in which traditional approaches such surveys, data gathering, and analysis are difficult to execute and interpret; and (2) have severe resources constraints. Students will design, run, and interpret cheap, interactive experiments that simultaneously validate and reveal new insights.
