Building A Lean Startup (The Hurt Hub@Davidson)
The Hurt Hub@Davidson is excited to be offering another round of the Building a Lean Startup course for all interested students, faculty, staff, and members of the general public. This course is an opportunity for individuals or small business teams to learn about the core principles of entrepreneurship and work on developing an idea through the Lean Startup methodology. No previous business experience required!
The Lean Startup methodology is an approach to building new businesses rooted in the belief that entrepreneurs must investigate, experiment, test, and iterate as they develop new products and services. Unlike traditional startup approaches, lean startups move quickly, iterate often and continuously solicit feedback from their customers.
Taught by Rebecca Weeks Watson*, Building a Lean Startup is a 7-week course covering topics including how to come up with business ideas, how to get users/customers and grow, how to execute on sales and marketing, how to hire, how to raise money, which key metrics to measure, and more. All of these topic areas will rely on a build-measure-learn approach to make sure you find effective solutions quickly and inexpensively.
Lean Startup is a mindset and a methodology that is used across industries, sectors, and professions to solve problems and understand what your customers need most. We welcome people from all backgrounds and encourage an open and engaged mindset!
