Lean LaunchPad

The Lean LaunchPad (LLP) is a Wintersession course on how to build a startup using lean startup tools and frameworks. It is a hands-on, intensive, experiential course designed for student teams who are serious about pursuing a startup. The course teaches development of relationships with customers, suppliers, communications providers and other enablers of the business with immediate feedback, requiring students to get out of the building and test their business hypotheses through multiple in person meetings. The Business Model Canvas is the scorecard for contact effectiveness and for development of the ecosystem of contacts which will make the business viable.
