HUMBOLDT INCUBATOR LESSONS: Learn & Connect

HUMBOLDT INCUBATOR LESSONS is a  workshop series provided by the Startup Service at Humboldt-University.
We provide hands on content for founders from our 15 years expertice in supporting early stage startups.

Do you know, what you don't know?Many aspects of life bare some uncertainty, but becoming a founder will set you on a path of exceptional risk and uncertainty. Creating a business of your own from scratch will confront you with the task of making choices without having the comfort of definitive answers. This means you will have to operate for a large part based on more or less well founded assumptions, especially in the early stages of your startup journey. In order to be able to reduce the inherent risks of failing you first have to know what you don't know.Let’s get started with hypothesis-driven business development!Facing what you actually know, and what are just your assumptions is the basis for making your business model less fragile. Identifying your explicit and implicit assumption and deliberatly testing them is one of the core ideas of the Lean Startup approach. In this workshop, you will learn how to identify, define and test your hypotheses throughout the process of business development. This is the second in a series of workshops on the Lean Startup approach, with the following ones elaborating on the futher steps of it's implementation.The workshop will be conducted by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/adolphy/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">SEBASTIAN ADOLPHY</a>, Head of Coaching at the <a href="https://humboldt-innovation.de/en/startupservice" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">HUMBOLDT INCUBATOR</a>.
