Tuesdays, October 1st-December 10th, 5:30-8:30pm, Mission Bay. Lean Launchpad for Life Science/Healthcare (see July 17th event). This 10-week course will take you down the pathway to building your idea into a venture. It is not about writing a business plan or doing library research. You will be talking to actual customers and partners about your idea and learning the chaos and uncertainty of how a startup actually works. You'll learn how to use a business model to brainstorm each part of a company, and customer development, getting out of the classroom to talk to real prospects to see if anyone other than you would want/use your product. Each week will be a new adventure as you test another part of your business model and share this knowledge with the rest of the class. Application is downloadable from cbe.ucsf.edu<http://ucsf.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d82d0db4c138570c62798b0b5&id=19d2ef1ac5&e=6990fb5049>. Looking for team members or to join a team?
