==Training==
{{See also|Entrepreneurship education}}
Many institutions and universities provide training on startups. In the context of universities, some of the courses are entrepreneurship courses that also deal with the topic of startups, while other courses are specifically dedicated to startups. Startup courses are found both in traditional economic or business disciplines as well as the side of information technology disciplines. As startups are often focused on software, they are also occasionally taught while focusing on software development alongside the business aspects of a startup.<ref name="Chanin, R. 2018 pp. 143-144">Chanin, R., Sales, A., Pompermaier, L., and Prikladnicki, R.

Founders go through a lot to set up a startup. A startup requires patience and resilience, and training programs need to have both the business components and the psychological components.<ref name=":2">{{Cite journal|last1=Campos|first1=Francisco|last2=Frese|first2=Michael|last3=Goldstein|first3=Markus|last4=Iacovone|first4=Leonardo|last5=Johnson|first5=Hillary C.|last6=McKenzie|first6=David|last7=Mensmann|first7=Mona|date=22 September 2017|title=Teaching personal initiative beats traditional training in boosting small business in West Africa|journal=Science|language=en|volume=357|issue=6357|pages=1287–1290|doi=10.1126/science.aan5329|issn=0036-8075|pmid=28935805|bibcode=2017Sci...357.1287C|doi-access=free|hdl=10986/28386|hdl-access=free}}</ref> Entrepreneurship education is effective in increasing the entrepreneurial attitudes and perceived behavioral control,<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Rauch|first1=Andreas|last2=Hulsink|first2=Willem|date=June 2015|title=Putting Entrepreneurship Education Where the Intention to Act Lies: An Investigation Into the Impact of Entrepreneurship Education on Entrepreneurial Behavior|journal=Academy of Management Learning & Education|language=en|volume=14|issue=2|pages=187–204|doi=10.5465/amle.2012.0293|s2cid=145751737 |issn=1537-260X|url=https://research.rug.nl/en/publications/putting-entrepreneurship-education-where-the-intention-to-act-lies(1a8f5fa3-ceea-4252-90e4-72b6206591a5).html}}</ref> helping people and their businesses grow.<ref name=":2" /> Most of startup training falls into the mode of experiential learning,<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Cooper |first1=Robert G. |last2=Edgett |first2=Scott J. |last3=Kleinschmidt |first3=Elko J. |date=2004 |title=Benchmarking Best NPD Practices—II |url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08956308.2004.11671630 |journal=Research-Technology Management |language=en |volume= 47|issue= 3|pages= 50–59|doi= 10.1080/08956308.2004.11671630|issn=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Pittaway |first1=Luke |last2=Cope |first2=Jason |date=October 2007 |title=Entrepreneurship EducationA Systematic Review of the Evidence |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/237433793 |journal=International Small Business Journal Researching Entrepreneurship}}</ref> in which students are exposed to a large extent to a real-life entrepreneurship context as new venture teams.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Wu |first1=Lei-Yu |last2=Wang |first2=Chun-Ju |last3=Tseng |first3=Chun-Yao |last4=Wu |first4=Ming-Cheng |date=March 2009 |title=Founding team and start-up competitive advantage |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/235260592 |journal=Management Decision}}</ref><ref name=":5" /> An example of group-based experiential startup training is the Lean LaunchPad initiative that applies the principles of customer development<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Blank |first1=Steve |title=The Startup Owner's Manual: The Step-By-Step Guide for Building a Great Company |last2=Dorf |first2=Bob |date=2012 |publisher=Diateino}}</ref> and Lean Startup<ref>{{Cite book |last=Ries |first=Eric |title=The lean startup: how today's entrepreneurs use continuous innovation to create radically successful businesses |date=2011 |publisher=Crown Business |isbn= |edition= |location=}}</ref> to technology-based startup projects.

As startups are typically thought to operate under a notable lack of resources,<ref>Paternoster, N., Giardino, C., Unterkalmsteiner, M., Gorschek, T., Abrahamsson, P. (2014).

In fact, it is not uncommon for students to actually participate in real startups during and after their studies. Similarly, university courses teaching software startup themes often have students found mock-up startups during the courses and encourage them to make them into real startups should they wish to do so.<ref name="Chanin, R. 2018 pp. 143-144"/> Such mock-up startups, however, may not be enough to accurately simulate real-world startup practice if the challenges typically faced by startups (e.g. lack of funding to keep operating) are not present in the course setting.<ref>Buffardi, K., Robb, C., Rahn, D. (2017) Tech startups: realistic software engineering projects with interdisciplinary collaboration. Journal of Computing Sciences in Colleges 32(4), 93–98.</ref>

To date, much of the entrepreneurship training is yet to be personalized to match the participants and the training.
