Internship – a three-part course series

It sounds unbelievable, but 94% of senior CEOs admit that their companies fail to understand customer needs. More than 80% of technology startups fail early, not because of weak engineering or lack of cash, but because they invest time in products that the market doesn’t want or need.

This specialization uses a technology-driven process to teach you the skills needed to develop successful campaign launch strategies and program management to achieve financial success in the dynamic technology marketplace. Bridge the gap between abstract product development and profitable sales as you develop a marketing strategy for a real technology startup of your choice. Many startups fall into the so-called “abyss,” neglecting customer desires, which leads to their downfall. Validate ideas and propel your startup to flourish in today’s competitive marketplace!
