The Experiment Sprint

We’ve spent the last couple of weeks in Startup Studio at Cornell Tech on futher customer discovery. In particular, Giff Constable joined us to talk about experiments and interviews as tools for customer discovery.

Last week, the teams had their first Sprint — just under 24 hours of solid work on their startup ideas. Teams were asked to conduct at least one experiment to test their key assumptions, like “does anyone have the problem we are focused on” or “who has this problem?”

The students presented their findings Friday last week; thanks to Juliette Cezzar, Leslie Borrell for joining and providing feedback. The students have shared their journeys as well; checkout #CornellTechStartupStudio in twitter for more!
