15. • Dal's Starting Lean course helps students transform business ideas into
opportunities: Last semester, Dalhousie University's Faculty of
Management launched a new course called Starting Lean, open to
students who had a business idea they wanted to develop. The course
uses the Lean LaunchPad model developed by a University of California
Berkeley professor, who says the goal is to teach students "the art,
science and strategy of entrepreneurship that will forever change how
they view early stage ventures." In the Dal course, students were divided
into teams of 4 and attended their lectures online (hosted on the Udacity
platform) prior to class, conducted market validation, and then applied
what they learned through weekly in-class presentations based on
developing their business models canvas. Starting Lean is already paying
off for many of the students. As of last month, 2 of the teams have been
accepted into the 5-month Propel ICT Launch 36 accelerator program,
and 3 have received offers of development money and/or angel
investment. Dal News | Starting Lean | Udacity Blog
