Our first event as part of the Arizona Summer of Startups initiative is ready to rock!

In this exciting, hands-on, free, 11 week course you will learn what it is like to successfully transfer knowledge into products and processes that benefit society!   This hands-on course is modeled directly after Stanford’s Lean Launchpad Class created by Steve Blank.

We will only accept 5-7 teams of entrepreneurs that are passionate, curious and extremely agile.  Each team member must be able to commit to 15 hours per week of customer discovery as well as purchase 2 books for the course.

You’ll learn more in this 11 week course than many entrepreneurs learn in their entire career!
