Scale Up Ventures: Growing a Business Ou

This course is specifically designed for SIPA students, which means that we look at the world of scaleups from two different perspectives: First, the bottom-up approach, where you will need to think like an entrepreneur. How do you achieve scale by leading the attraction and retention of talent, capital, and customers? And second, the top-down approach, where you will need to think like an ecosystem builder: Which policies and actions are effective to help scaleups attract top talent, capital, and more customers in any given city or region? For example, you'll be surprised to learn that some policies that help startups end up hurting scaleups, and vice-versa.
