A Talk on Lean Startup and Customer Development by Bader Young Entrepreneurs Program

Lean Startup methodology is the current best practice in the technology startup world. With its emphasis on quick prototyping and early interaction with customers, it has become the standard way Silicon Valley founders think and act.

The talk will go through Learn Startup fundamentals as well as link them with Customer Development principles.

In addition, emphasis won't just be about what to do. Instead, insights and examples will be provided about how NOT to apply lean techniques, with time spent illustrating common mistakes entrepreneurs fall for. 

In a highly competitive and risky startup environment, lean techniques are an essential framework for any serious entrepreneur. 

The talk will be delivered by Fadi Bizri, the Managing Director at Bader Young Entrepreneurs Program.

Date: Tuesday, October 1, 2013 
Time: 6:00pm 
Place: Coworking+961
