Experiment or sleep

Experiment or sleep, both are equally important. Some will go to sleep and some will go out of the building to do their first experiment. Which crowd are you going to join? But be aware that we are starting the next day exactly at 8am!

Registrations, Introduction and Opening

Registrations open at 4:00pm. Make sure that you are there on time. The program starts on Friday at 4:30pm with the networking. Participants of the Startup Drill are very interesting, with diverse experiences, interests and plans, but they have one thing in common – a desire for change and progress. Expand your network of acquaintances, meet potential co-workers, customers and friends. And most importantly meet others who might want to join your team. If you currently do not have a desire for pitching, never mind, you’ll join one of the teams whose problem you want passionately to solve.

Experiment under mentor’s guidance

The night was long and some teams came back with new insights from customers. A quick coffee with mentors and we are ready for some more experiments, lectures and team work. What are the main assumptions you need to validate? What do you need to learn from the customers? Wrap it up in an experiment, find your potential customers and validate your hypothesis. At this point, every team will “go out of the building”.

New experiment and Lunch

Customer development will probably lead you to pivot the problem or the customer segment. After several iterations, you will validate the problem, the customer segment and the solution. Mastering the art of building what customers want means reaching the problem/solution fit.
You’ll be enthusiastic about the customers and experiments, but don’t forget about your lunch!

Intro / Keynote / Team-forming

A detailed introduction to Startup Drill rules and schedule followed by a motivational keynote from a startup founder that successfully implemented Lean Startup methodology.
After the keynote, everyone is ready for the Problem Pitch and formation of teams. Teams will be formed around the problem, so prepare your pitch so you will explain in 45 seconds why do you want to solve that specific problem so passionately.
On average, 43% of participants pitch the problem and 26% manage to form a team. It is your decision if you want to use the full potential of Startup Drill and become a startup founder on the spot.
