Startup Journey Game

Students experience an adrenaline rush of entrepreneurship through this
simulator, which simulates the difficulties every entrepreneur faces when
starting out: the creation of an idea to presenting your project to potential investors.
They would have to take the key variables of all ventures into account,
and would further experience the differences between making decisions alone or as a team.

COURSES IN WHICH THE START-UP JOURNEY GAME IS USED:

Innovation, Entrepreneurship, New Venture Creation

Through the simulation, students will understand the importance of the following aspects when starting a business: forming and strengthening a team, building a network of contacts, the benefits of having a mentor, identifying the needs of each target segment and positioning the product with respect to the competition.

"I would say that students have a different energy whenever its game day. Even the students who are the least motivated in class end up being the most involved during a game."

"My colleagues and I definitely believe in them. They are much more effective in capturing the attention of all participants than a boring presentation or an Excel spreadsheet."

"From my point of view, the simulation improves on the typical case study as the student gets an immediate reaction to the decisions made. You can see the workings of what you put into practice directly, not through the correction or scoring of a paper (...) I have used the simulator for the last 4 years and in all of them the session has been a success, the students have left fully satisfied."
