Products
One-Page Startup Profile and 60-Second Entrepreneur Video
Each student creates a one-page profile of their business idea and records a short video explaining the chosen structure, costs, taxes, risks, and rewards. The product must show how feedback changed the idea and what the next step would be for testing or improving it.
Collaborative Startup Pitch Board with Revised Business Structure and Problem Statement
Teams produce a shared problem statement and a higher-fidelity pitch board that presents the business model, internal and external factors, estimated costs, timeline, and a revised prototype or service concept. The final board should be ready to share with authentic stakeholders and clearly trace team decisions back to individual research.
