    Executive Mentor - Lean LaunchPad - Entrepreneurship / Innovation

    Education

    I serve as a course mentor for the Lean LaunchPad, a course that provides students with an experiential learning opportunity to see what launching a startup is like. In 10 weeks, I mentor these 5-person teams as they learn what it takes to transform their initial ideas into a repeatable, scalable business model. They do this by practicing customer discovery and getting outside the classroom to test each element of their evolving business model every week.

    I serve as a course mentor for the Lean LaunchPad, a course that provides students with an experiential learning opportunity to see what launching a startup is like. In 10 weeks, I mentor these 5-person teams as they learn what it takes to transform their initial ideas into a repeatable, scalable business model. They do this by practicing customer discovery and getting outside the classroom to test each element of their evolving business model every week.

    The course provides real-world, hands-on learning on what it's like to start a tech company. This class is not about how to write a business plan. It's not an exercise on how smart you are in a classroom or how well you use the research library to size markets. And the result is not a PowerPoint slide deck for a VC presentation or a Y-Combinator Demo Day.

    The class is designed to give students the experience of how to work as a team and turn an idea into a company — a passion of mine.

    For entrepreneurs, navigating a career through the Valley can be a lot like competitive sports. Similarities include locker room leadership, a shifting playbook and ongoing onslaughts from opponents. What is perhaps the most important likeness to highlight, however, is the requisite sense of what your place is in the game.
