Commercial Open Source Startups (COSS)

Students learn how the software industry works, how commercial open source works, and how to create startups from research.

I’m currently not teaching this course, so the content may not be up-to-date any longer.

As an alternative, I can offer my Research-to-Startup (R2S) course to you.
