Scope

During the fall semester, students will focus on

Evaluating early stage startups
Startup business models

During the spring semester, students will focus on:

Resourcing startup business models (startup financing)
Implementing business models and scaling

Students will be instrumental in the selection of the startups in the next 2023-2024 EFL cohort. Students will then be paired with startups to provide hands-on support to help execute business priorities. Students gain invaluable first-hand experience of the entrepreneurial mindset by taking part in the life of a startup, playing a vital role in the development of their startups.

Students will attend up to five EFL Meeting Days. The EFL Meetings are core to the EFL Program. At EFL Meetings, startups engage with our network of highly accomplished mentors, including industry leaders, successful entrepreneurs, VC investors and technical experts to set short-term goals.

Learning from these interactions, students work with their startups and provide hands-on support to achieve those EFL goals. This invaluable interaction allows students to reframe their MBA class learnings and perspectives to tackle the challenges their startups face.

FAQs

Will this course be in-person or remote?

Endless Frontier Labs operates in accordance with NYU and New York State policies and guidance. As of now, the course will be held in-person for the Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 semesters. Please check NYU’s main website for updates and instructions.

When will I hear back about my application status?

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. The priority deadline to apply is 5:00pm EST on Friday, May 31st, 2024. All other applications received after the deadline will be reviewed depending on availability. Please note that students applying from the Tech MBA program will have extended deadlines.

What does the startup selection and pairing process entail?

Students will rank order the startups they are interested in working with. Startups will also provide preferences of backgrounds of students they are interested in working with as well as possible projects they need assistance with. We make student and startup pairings based on both of these inputs, but we cannot guarantee pairing with any one particular startup.

What will time commitments look like?

After students are matched with startups at the beginning of the Fall semester, they will be asked to spend approximately 6-7 hours per week. Note that the EFL course spans 9 months, and includes both the Fall and Spring semesters (3 credit hours each semester, for a total of 6 credits).
