The latest example is this featuring Ashley Zahabian, who received our Certificate of Entrepreneurship in 2014. In the story, Zahabian, a junior Economics major, gives tips for entrepreneurs about the importance of validating their ideas with potential customers.

Our opinions do not decipher what the market wants — we have to ask our markets directly.”

The importance of customer validation is just one topic we teach in ENTR 201 “Entrepreneurial Mindset and Innovation.”
