Mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs

Experienced entrepreneurs and hi-tech engineers share their experience with those who make their first steps into the realms of startups.

Lecture + workshop

Each lesson starts with an intimate talk and a long Q&A session. The remaining of the time is invested in working with the students on building their ideas into products.

The three chapters encapsulate core stages in product life-cycle. From a napkin to a business plan; Designing the user scenario and product wireframe; Prototyping and user testing.

Project based learning

Students asked to show results in front of the class for each of the core chapters. At the end we have a startup exhibit to external visitors.

Soft skills

Project management, time management, presentation and finding the right team memebers are a significant part of the course.

Values and community

One cannot succeed alone. Students learn ways to interact with the local thriving community of startups and hi-tech. We do our best to discover a win-win situation products with an emotional touch.
