Office of Inclusive Innovation &Entrepreneurship
Intro to Lean Startup Workshop
 
What: The Office of Inclusive Innovation & Entrepreneurship, in collaboration with the Herb Keller Center for Entrepreneurship, will be hosting a Lean Startup Workshop. There are many ways to think about building a startup. However, the lean startup methodology is one of the best tools to get traction and validate your idea with little time. This, alongside the Lean Startup Canvas, helps nascent and curious entrepreneurs learn the basic fundamentals before investing in an idea that has not been market validated. You will learn how to identify your customer and how to refine the problem into tangible results. Come prepared for a three-hour session that will guide you into the process of building a lean startup. Drinks and refreshments will be provided.

When: Wednesday, Nov. 14, 6 p.m.

Where: Rowling Hall Special Events Room (RRH 5.210)

Drinks and refreshments will be provided. The event is free and open to the public. Go to this Evenbrite page to RSVP.
