  11. Course Objective: Idea to a Business • What does it take to go from idea to a business? • Business Model + Customer Development • Hypotheses testing of the business model(s) • Get “out of the building”

  12. Course Objective: Simulate A Startup? • Create the pressures, uncertainty, and challenges of a real startup • Our expectations are unreasonable, they require extraordinary effort • We expect failures, iterations and Pivots • Class is a “lab” - books/lectures are tools, not answers • Fail fast, learn quick, push you outside your comfort zone

  13. Teaching team philosophy • This class is taught using the “Startup Culture” • We’re tough, direct, fair - you need to be the same • Startup culture has no hierarchy - in this class you are an entrepreneur - not a PI, lab mgr or center director • We’re your biggest supporters – we want you to succeed • Question us, challenge us, push us as hard as we push you • We don’t pretend to be domain experts, we know you are smarter than we are

  14. Getting Out of The Building • This class is not about our lectures • The class is not about your attendance • The class is about the work you do outside the building • It’s the difference between a vision and a hallucination

  15. Our Expectations of You • This is a full-contact, immersive class • All of you will be full participants – here and remotely • You will spend lots of time outside of your university • You all will do all the work assigned (and it is a lot more than you probably realize) • No “dine and dash” • If you think you are not learning, or you all cannot commit the time, see your NSF program manager

  16. Team Deliverables • Each Week • Lessons Learned presentation 5 minutes • Updated Lean LaunchLab blog • Hours of “outside the building” learning • December Presentation • 20 minute Lessons Learned Summary
