The professors, who are presented as highly successful entrepreneurs with claimed net worths in the millions, offer daily instructional videos to guide students in their business journey. Students have access to a treasure trove of resources, full lesson plans, and the opportunity to ask professors questions. They can also earn up to $1 million per month from their businesses and have a chance to become a “digital entrepreneur.”
