New Haas Course Studies Crowdfunding
UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business has joined with the Fung Institute for Engineering Leadership to create CrowdBerkeley. CrowdBerkeley will focus on teaching and understanding the power of crowdfunding. The course will provide a premier hub of education, research, and learning engagement on all topics related to crowdfunding. Throughout the course, students will learn how to raise equity without traditional investors, create credit and loan models without brick-and-mortar lenders and understand the implications of new currencies.
CrowdBerkeley is led by the faculty director of the College of Engineering’s Fung Institute for Engineering Leadership, Lee Fleming, assistant professor Adair Morse, Berkeley-Haas Finance Group, Professor Laura D’Andrea Tyson, director of the Haas School’s Institute for Business and Social Impact, Dr. Richard Swart, who has joined IBSI as a Scholar in Residence and the Berkeley-Haas Center for Social Sector Leadership.
