Instructor: Tom Gilb Overview: Startup Company founders love their cause. But in order to succeed quickly they might like to get some help in presenting and articulating their ideas. Both to others, to investors, and to themselves. The central idea of this course is to teach how to quantify you top few critical objectives, for your startup project, and for your startup product. Most people do not know how to do that. We will show you how. Based on these quantitatively clear objectives, we will show you how to estimate, then measure and track, the multiple impacts of your critical few strategies and design ideas. These tactics will result in the following: 1. much better ability to communicate with your partners and startup team about what you are trying to achieve. The team gets an unambiguous common understanding. 2. Much better ability to communicate to all external parties: suppliers, potential employees, investors, about the startup, and its current state of accomplishment. 3. Better ability to motivate investors to fund you. 4. better ability to learn rapidly and pivot when necessary 5. better ability to manage the product and service development, however complicated it may get.
