The class really helped understand that venture development isn’t just a linear path in which you always advance. Instead, it has various factors that come into play as you progress, so most of the time that means you have to go back, and going back to check and correct is just as important if not even more than simply advancing. I also learned about the importance of not falling in love with your idea but instead making the customer fall in love with it. That means everything you do must be thought out from the perspective of the clients you want to reach and what’s most appealing to them whilst still feasible for you.
I loved the program and my only feedback where that at some point (around module 5) since we really picked up the pace it was hard to follow through all the worksheets and we got confused about what we needed to put from them into our rolling slide deck.
