Business models have been blamed for the fall of democracy, the poor mental health of teens, and the rise of surveillance capitalism. In this course students explore mental frames we use to describe how organizations create value, and why entrepreneurial ventures continue to perpetuate cycles of inequity through status quo startup methods and financing mechanisms. Students will learn how to center the core value of an organization to provide unmet needs of a community. Additional explorations will widen the description of entrepreneurial organization to include cooperative structures, collectives, community benefit organizations and other non profits, collaboratives, and public benefit companies. Through discussion, analysis, community-engaged research and financial modeling, students move towards designing a business model and fundraising plan that creates and shares value towards more equitable outcomes.
