In this course students will learn about what it took for some the best in the NYC food business world to realize success. Guest speakers will include:
In addition to hearing from leading food entrepreneurs, students will work in groups to champion new business ideas while conceptualizing a plan and learning what is involved in running a food start-up, including: building a winning concept, performing competitive analyses, writing an executive summary, mission and goals, creating a brand identity and marketing plan, learning the ins and outs of sales and operations, developing a financial plan, and more. In the final session, teams will present a virtual capital pitch to a panel of investment bankers who will provide invaluable feedback about the students’ business concepts.
Adam Eskin, founder of Dig Inn Seasonal Market, commends the program stating: "I had very little culinary and operating experience when I entered the restaurant industry. Had I the opportunity to take a program like this when I started it would have made a world of difference."
