Entrepreneurship: how to start your own new business,

Develop an understanding of new business ventures from initial concept through company formation and operation. Particular emphasis will be placed on personal character assessment, market research, resources and skills required to “validate” an initial concept into a successful new venture.
 Understand the wide range of new venture financing options available to entrepreneurs, and fit for their plans: micro-financing, family, angel investment, corporate and private equity venture capital, and emerging new investment vehicles such as online “crowd financing,”
 Create a concise, succinct business plan “executive summary,” following the Guy Kawasaki “10-20-30” rule of thumb, including pro forma financial projections.
 Demonstrate an ability to confidently and effectively communicate the “executive summary” findings and conclusions, and to defend them to an audience of informed peers, as if they were potential investors or stakeholders in the new venture.

Roberto
Spanish classes, Exam preparaiton, Business and finance vocabulary, literature and syntaxis, gym coach
My name is Roberto , and I am a Spanish teacher for foreigners and a university student. I am fluent in English because I have lived abroad and have studied my whole life in both international and bilingual schools, which brings a lot of fluency to my classes. I am also a person with virtually unlimited patience and very calm; I strive to be well understood and have no problem explaining something several times. Regarding Spanish classes, I can provide both colloquial and slightly more sophisticated and cultured vocabulary, applied to various contexts. My main objective in these classes is to make them as dynamic as possible, and rather than imparting a theoretical class, the methodology we will follow will be to engage in conversations as we get to know each other and share curiosities. With this approach, we will leave behind the fear of making mistakes and find a safe and comfortable space in which to develop the class. I also have a group of teachers who will accompany us in many activities, and with whom we can join together to learn collectively.
