The project originated from the renowned entrepreneurial haven of Los Angeles. ElevatePro has spent four years developing and optimizing this project, exclusively crafting it for Chinese youth. It is dedicated to fostering and incubating the Chinese entrepreneurial ecosystem through PBL (Project-Based Learning), providing cutting-edge venture capital training and top industry resources for ambitious next-generation young entrepreneurs, and preparing for entrepreneurship and innovative management in family businesses.
Authentic Columbia Business School course, the curriculum includes 8 major modules—from the initial ‘entrepreneurial idea’, determining the ‘business model’, identifying ‘target customers’, conducting ‘market analysis’ and ‘product development’, formulating ‘marketing strategies’ and ‘financial plans’ all the way to ‘project launch’. It teaches you how to create a professional, feasible business entrepreneurship plan, step by step, to realize your entrepreneurial dreams!
Entrepreneurial Practice VS Investment Analysis: Dual Perspectives to Enhance Learning
Students create their own project teams and, over a 6-week project period, refine their entrepreneurial ideas into professional and viable business plans under the guidance of entrepreneurial mentors, deepening their understanding of entrepreneurial knowledge/skills through practice. At the same time, students also take on the role of investors for other entrepreneurial teams, conducting investment and financing analysis from the perspective of a business return investor. This dual perspective enriches the core thinking and experience of entrepreneurship.
Roadshow Practice: Direct Engagement with Investors and University Admission Officers
After six weeks of project training, students participate in a roadshow as project founders, presenting directly to investors and university admission officers.
High-Value Alumni Resources: Continuous Empowerment of Chinese Youth Entrepreneurship
After assessments and screenings, outstanding students will be invited to join the venture capital alumni group, deeply engaging with project mentors, seasoned investors, and entrepreneurs, participating in investments in the most promising startups. Outstanding entrepreneurial projects have the opportunity to enter innovation incubation labs and receive internal incubation.
