Entrepreneurship Strategy: From Ideation to Exit

HEC Paris follows the venture journey from the founder’s starting position toward a more mature organization. The modules examine early steps and the development of a project before later strategic questions. It offers a lifecycle view alongside courses focused on only customer discovery or launch.

What you will learn

• Connect a founder’s situation with venture choices.
• Organize the early strategic steps of a project.
• Explain how priorities change as a venture matures.

Who this suits

Beginners interested in the strategic development of an entrepreneurial project.

Before you enroll

Detailed prerequisites are not listed. A lifecycle provides a useful organizing view, but actual ventures may revisit earlier questions as evidence and circumstances change.
