Good morning -
As we all head toward the end of our semester, it is a perfect time to remind students to take advantage of their time at home to develop their business concept. USASBE Launch! (http://usasbelaunch.org/) is the perfect vehicle for them.
Students can work their way through the ideation process if they have not already by checking out the excellent resources Dr. Alex Bruton posted here:http://usasbelaunch.org/top-idea-ninja/.
The next step for those who have progressed is to develop a business model. Students can use QuipuApps and the process highlighted here (http://usasbelaunch.org/business-model/) to develop and validate their business model by January 10, 2014.
Students who can create real business value and take real action can win mentoring from the best and brightest in the startup universe, like Eric Ries, Ash Maurya, David S. Rose, Bob Dorf, and more!
If you or your students have any questions, concerns, or ideas, please contact me directly.
Thank you, and have a wonderful holiday season
