MORE ABOUT THE SUMMER INNOVATION SPRINT
Every attendee will have support on how to take their ideas to the next step.
The main idea of the program is to guide you and give you tools to continue working on your business idea.
We will work with the lean methodology, which is used to turn proposed solutions into business models, underpinned by assumptions that are rapidly tested with actual customers to separate truth from fiction, learn and iterate toward product-market fit.
We will use Slack as the communication platform for assignments and submissions and share all the recorded workshops and slides for those who want to look at the material again.
We will use Zoom for workshops and feedback sessions.
The timeline for the summer is following:
- Document your plan
- Test your Hypothesis
- Build to test and learn
- Sustainability and Agenda 2030
- Economy
- Pitch / Storytelling
There will be workshops, individual coaching mixed with individual work, and assignments. The Summer Innovation Sprint is designed in a way that you can easily follow by keeping yourself updated with the material in Slack.
