Explore Entrepreneurship—One Step at a Time

The Entrepreneurs website is an interactive, student-friendly platform developed by Derek Lidow and Ben Lehnert that helps you move from “I have an idea” to actually building something real. Instead of long lectures or abstract theory, it offers short, hands-on learning “sprints” that walk you through key steps like testing ideas, understanding customers, and developing a startup—while actively applying what you learn along the way. Built by experienced founders and educators, the content is practical, fast-paced, and designed to fit into a busy graduate schedule.

For graduate students, it’s a great way to explore entrepreneurship without needing to commit to a full program or course. You can experiment with ideas, build real-world skills, and gain confidence in launching something of your own—all at your own pace. Plus, with opportunities for mentorship, community interaction, and expert guidance, it turns entrepreneurship from something intimidating into something approachable, actionable, and even exciting.
