-Because Swarthmore is a teaching rather than research based university, professors are encouraged to focus on students and classes rather than their own projects. Nevertheless, the Lang Visiting Professor, Denise Crossan, is a prime example of faculty entrepreneurship on campus. She worked on a social innovation map, which charts all kinds of entrepreneurial activities going on at Swarthmore. She created the Swarthmore Social Innovation Lab, and helped to spearhead the Presidential Sustainability Research Fellowship Program, which connects faculty and students over sustainability initiatives on campus. Denise is the current faculty advisor for the University Innovation Fellows chapter at Swarthmore.

 This course is intended to help students gain a better understanding of the overall startup and venture capital funding landscape, acquire a better working vocabulary of the terms within the industry, and learn how professionals think about building and scaling their startups. There will be a technical component of this course where students learn how to build a landing page for a startup and learn to break down the different technical considerations when it comes to building a software product. We will then conclude with how students can take the next steps in their entrepreneurship education by working at a startup.
