3 Intense Days
7 Hours per Day (Split into two 3.5-hour sessions)
Your journey from idea to testable business model:
Day 1: Lean Startup Mindset & Business Model Fundamentals
Learn how to frame and de-risk business ideas using the Lean Startup method. Explore the Business Model Canvas as a visual tool for aligning customer, value, and infrastructure assumptions.
Day 2: Customer Discovery & MVP Design
Validate your riskiest assumptions. Conduct interviews, analyze insights, and design a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) with the fewest moving parts that still delivers core value.
Day 3: Testing, Pivoting & Business Model Iteration
Turn feedback into action. Run experiments, measure traction, and iterate on your business model. Prepare a lean pitch deck with validated learning and market readiness.
The best products don’t start with technology — they start with validated insight. This course teaches entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, and innovation teams to test and evolve business ideas using Lean Startup principles and the Business Model Canvas.
Through rapid learning loops, you’ll practice reducing waste, accelerating market feedback, and aligning offerings with real customer needs — before you build.
