Video Summary
Lean Startup and Value Proposition
We begin with the Lean Startup method and the Value Proposition Canvas. You will explore how to frame your idea, generate assumptions, and uncover what might really matters to customers. This session is about shifting from solution-first thinking to problem-first discovery and building a clear value proposition that resonates.
Market Validation and Customer Discovery
Tuesday, we turn to customer discovery. The focus is on meaningful conversations, avoiding bias, and learning to listen beyond assumptions. You will see why more than half of early assumptions are wrong, and why success depends on finding the truth about problems, not pushing your solution.
Market Environment and Competition
On Wednesday, we zoom out. Even the best business model can fail if it ignores the wider market environment. You will learn to scan external forces, from customer trends to regulation, competitors, and translate them into risks, opportunities, and choices.
Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and Early Stage Go To Market Strategies
Thursday combines MVP with go-to-market strategy. You will practice MVP testing, then connect that to how startups win their first customers. The emphasis is on early traction: finding trial partners, refining your message, and proving value fast.
Start-up grants and funding, Intellectual Property, and Financial Planning for Startups
Tuesday, we turn to customer discovery. The focus is on meaningful conversations, avoiding bias, and learning to listen beyond assumptions. You will see why more than half of early assumptions are wrong, and why success depends on finding the truth about problems, not pushing your solution.
