About this course
Starting a business without validating it first is the number one reason new ventures fail. This course gives you the practical frameworks — Lean Startup, Business Model Canvas, Jobs-to-Be-Done, and unit economics — and shows you how to apply each one to a real idea you choose on Day 1. Every lesson is built around concrete decisions, worked examples, and tactics you can execute this week. No fluff, no theory for theory's sake, and zero coding required.
