Successful startups are rarely based on a great idea - instead, they are founded on solving a significant problem. In this class, you will be exposed to some deep problems that need solving (and have a chance of being funded).You will hear from industry experts, entrepreneurs, and investors as they share the importance of identifying and testing the validity of your idea as early as possible; knowing everything you can about 'the space' your customers occupy; the importance of getting end-user insight early and often; investing in early experiments to test ideas; identifying market fit and what customer acquisition really means.

This pop up class is optional, but we encourage attendance!
