Learn how to identify the needs and to solve the problems that matter to startups. Gain the skills to systematically analyze business problems that startups face and to deliver elegant solutions. Become familiar with the lean startup model, which is based on starting a company using an experimental business canvas instead of a traditional business plan.

Through a mixture of exercises, cases, lectures, and discussions, acquire a deeper understanding of the dynamics of, and barriers to, starting a business.
