MBA Pathways: High Growth Venture
Scaleup Your MBA
Scaleups are critical drivers of economic growth and job creation worldwide, with a sizable presence in Â鶹ӰԺ’s renowned entrepreneurial community. In the High Growth Venture Pathway, students work directly with faculty, entrepreneurs, accelerators and investors to learn how to: rapidly scale a good idea, build a unique organizational culture, and pivot quickly when a roadblock emerges. Opportunities to practice these skills come from Leeds’ corporate partners like Techstars, the Foundry Group, Cloudability, Jumpcloud and Boomtown.
This pathway prepares you not only to work with a high growth venture, but also to pursue a career in leadership, data/product management, business development, entrepreneurial finance, consulting, or at an accelerator.
