Starting with the first phase of the course, youll learn how to select a launch market, collect the research you need to create an offering that people will pay for, and move down the human-centric design path. Then youll move to phase two where youll design a minimum viable product (MVP)--a very early version of your concept--that you can use to validate your idea before taking it to the public. In phase three youll build your first operational version of the business, craft the first iteration of your brand and business story, get your first paying customers, and set yourself up to receive growth capital using a practical method that doesnt require you to deal with venture capitalists or lawyers.

Amazing presentation

By Daniel Luwum on 10/7/2020

Very practical. I had lost my entrepreneurial spirit. I came to learn more on design thinking and I am now gaining more than I bargained for. Thank you.

By Ankit . on 8/25/2020

Liked the detailed and practical examples. Also liked the practical approaches for performing certain tasks like performing LinkedIn as searches (I knew people use it as tool, never knew how), special Thanks for that.
Even for other tools which can help new entrepreneurs establish.
;-) Only thing which I did not like is some spiders and frog like animations jumping around without any reason, or maybe I was not able to find a reason.
