Fundamentals to create a business Past Review
By Raffi K (Colgate University) - abroad from 01/05/2015 to 01/10/2015 with
General Assembly: New York - Learn + Intern in Startups/Tech
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I did General Assembly's Business Accelerator program in conjunction with Colgate University. The program gave us great opportunities to network throughout the city. On top of the great social and professional experiences, we received amazing professors from various industries that taught us the fundamentals behind creating viable businesses. I now am working on the same idea I had at GA as a successful early stage startup. I highly recommend doing a GA program.
