This semester at the NYU Leslie eLab we're offering skills tracks that will allow you to develop the deep knowledge you need to be a founder of an impactful startup. These tracks: maker, legal, money, design, social, and lean will allow you to bring the skills you need in-house and move faster and cheaper with your startup. These classes can all be taken as one-offs or you can choose to take the entire track depending on what role you want to fill at a startup. We've got some great speakers lined up so stay tuned.
