Startup Nation is an advanced language course dealing with Israeli technology and entrepreneurship. The course discusses the reasons and climate that produce so many startups in such a small country. This course discusses different startups, technology, and ideas that started in Israel and were exported internationally, bought and sold by major companies and Fortune 500 organizations. We will also follow other startups in the world that are modeled after the Israeli startup model.
In this course, we will not only learn about different companies and their ideas, but also learn how to sell our own ideas by learning how to perform our own elevator pitch and write our own startup idea. By the end of the course students will come up with an idea and be able to sell it by using the Hebrew language.
Intended Audience:
Undergraduate and graduate students pursuing advanced Hebrew coursework
