It isn't, the parent probably just didnt know the name of the course being taught (or didn't reference). I'm a current UChicago Booth student. My bet is that the parent poster was auditing a class of Building the New Venture. The following classes are Entrepreneurship or Venture Capital focused (in no particular order): Building the New Venture Entrepreneurial Finance and Private Equity New Venture Strategy New Enterprise and Small Business Management Special Topics in Entrepreneurship: New Venture Challenge Entrepreneurial Internship Seminar Commercializing Innovation Social Entrepreneurship Entrepreneurial Selling New Venture and Small Enterprise Lab Private Equity/Venture Capital Lab International Entrepreneurship Lab - China E-Business Technology Developing New Products and Services Laboratory in New Product and Strategy Development I Technology Strategy Designing and Leading the Entrepreneurial Firm Statistical Insight into Marketing Consulting and Entrepreneurship Innovation in Energy Markets and Opportunities in Renewable Energy Structuring Venture Capital, Private Equity, and Entrepreneurial Transactions You'll note that many of those are Lab classes - meaning that we work with real companies/firms on real issues they are dealing with. I'm likely missing 2-3 classes. One of the people responding to the parent noted about how different the UChicago method is: focus on real data, real experience, and hard analysis. I'd say at least 30% of our class has some sort of hard math/science/engineering background.
