Abstract
By framing entrepreneurship courses in the context of team projects between business and engineering domains, students can gain meaningful experience whether they choose to pursue an entrepreneurial path or decide to pursue being an employee after graduation. However, the traditional classroom environment is not particularly conducive to realistic interdepartmental interactions typically found in most corporations or startup teams. In this paper, we describe a model for collaboration between students in entrepreneurship and computer science programs to cultivate development of real software products. We outline our partnership and illustrate how sister courses covering Lean startup and Agile software development methodologies complement each other to foster realistic, interdisciplinary Tech Startup teams. We also provide a framework for handling intellectual property issues that may arise due to such a collaboration.
