  21. Feedback is given verbally by peers, mentors and educators and

    is saved at each meetup in writing for posterity by typing the feedback in realtime into a shared document or management system during the meetups.
 Suggested solutions to roadblocks and problems are worked out in the meetup sessions, but with a focus on being as little instructional as possible. It is up to the ventures themselves to drive progress and ask for help. 
 Meetups also allows for educational content to be discussed or questions regarding the methodologies or to receive a custom prepared presentation on a specific topic by the educator. 
 
 In between the meetups, the LLP Educator is available by email and phone or Skype to give feedback and mentoring. THE PEER REVIEW MEETUP
  22. At each meetup, the startups present their progress and findings

    in front of their peers, educator and mentors in a standardised format using a 4 slide (and 4 slides ONLY) presentation. 1. How many customers they talked to and what they learned from it? 2. What they said they would do at the last meetup (5 next steps), what did they do, 
 what did they not do, why, and what did they learn? 3. What changed in the business model since the last meetup, what did they validate or invalidate and what do they base it on,? (Presented using the Business Model Canvas) 4. What are the concrete next 5 steps until the next meetup and what is standing in your way? THE PEER REVIEW FORMAT
  23. TARGET AUDIENCE College or University Students or even Primary School

    & Highschool GOALS • Create more competent startup founders (learning through experience) • Get the right new knowledge to the students before they get taught the old • Avoid students spending a long time (sometimes +6 years) doing the wrong things, building a product nobody needs or wants DURATION
 • 5 Weeks as a part of other curricula • 12 Weeks for credits (1x semester, complete curriculum) LLP FOR STUDENTS
  24. LLP FOR STARTUPS TARGET AUDIENCE Pre-Funding early-stage startups GOALS •

    Create more competent regional startup founders (education through experience) • Validate (or invalidate) the startup idea; iterate, pivot or persevere • Reach a decision on how (or if) to proceed; give up, apply to accelerator, raise funding or bootstrap (self-fund) DURATION
 • 5 Weeks, with meetups in the evening (facilitates having a day-job)
  25. TARGET AUDIENCE Internal (intrapreneurship) H2/H3 corporate innovation ventures / teams

    GOALS • Provide a repeatable support structure for early-stage corp. innovation teams (answers to what and how) • Create more competent corporate intrapreneurs (education through experience) • Avoiding spending too much time or resources on the wrong idea or team, metered funding • Avoiding Innovation Theatre; data-talks, bullshit walks (kills HIPPOs & ZEBRAs) • Reaching a transparent decision on IF and WHEN to commit more resources and time (or not) • Getting results quicker and more frequently (50x speed-up of innovation) 
 DURATION
 • 5 weeks, meetups on work time, either on or offsite • 12 weeks, meetups on work time, either on or offsite • Customised for needs (speed vs risk) LLP FOR CORPORATIONS
  26. TYPICAL SCENARIOS 
 FOR CORPORATE LEAN LAUNCHPAD PROGRAMS • Teams

    have been working on innovation challenges for some time, but with out structure and management wants to bring them to a conclusion 
 (support and decision program for existing teams, one time to clean the slate) • New innovation teams are forming as a result of other efforts, now management needs to provide them with an answer to the question on how to proceed
 (support and decision program for new teams, on a recurring need basis) • The company is currently building out, or already has, a concerted effort, an innovation engine, in place where the Lean Launchpad program is a regular part of the pre-acceleration phase, the validation phase, of internal innovation ventures, metered funding
 (pre-qualifying support and decision program for any team going through the perpetual innovation engine) LLP FOR CORPORATIONS
  27. +20.000 TEAMS WORLD WIDE • Using the Lean Launchpad (LLP)

    • National Science Foundation’s
 Innovation-Corps (iCorps) • +200 Universities, World Wide • +100 Accelerators / Incubators • Several Fortune 500 Corporations
  28. +300 LLP EDUCATORS TRAINED PER YEAR • Lean Launchpad Educators

    Training & Certifications • Standardised Process & Curriculum • Standardised, Validated Training & Certification • Held at Stanford, Berkeley, Columbia University NYC and more

  29. LEAN LAUNCHPAD SCIENTIFIC CASE STUDY The National Science Foundation (NSF)

    is the United States government agency that supports fundamental research and education in all the non-medical fields of science and engineering They decide which public scientific research projects will get federal funding for commercialisation in the US with an annual budget of 
 $7 Billion
  30. LEAN LAUNCHPAD @ NSF LEAN LAUNCHPAD VALIDATED The NSF had

    a challenge. Most applicants their accelerator program iCORPS were getting were not fundable by their standards of readiness. The NSF is as science-oriented as one can get, so they wanted to experiment with improving their fundability rate by providing the applicants with a fitness program before they could apply and get the data, the scientific facts, on how these applicants would perform compared to the baseline of normal applicants not taking the fitness program to see if there would be a difference, if at all. So the NSF started requiring applicants to take the Lean Launchpad as a prerequisite, as a fitness program, before applying to their NSF iCORPS accelerator.
  31. LEAN LAUNCHPAD WORKS THE SCIENCE IS IN And when the

    data came in, they found that the previous fundability rate of 18% of all applicants without the Lean Launchpad improved to a massive +60% of fundability of the teams that had taken the Lean Launchpad as a pre- accelerator readiness program. The science is in; By using the Lean Launchpad as a pre-accelerator program, The National Science Foundation managed to improve their dealflow with significant 44% hike in fundability.
  32. To cut a long story short, the US Government adopted

    the class to commercialise all science in the US. It is now called the I-Corps, or Innovation Corps. Over 15,000 teams of the US’ best scientists and engineers have taken the class. It is a law now in the United States – they made it a mandated class.
