About the Project

Abstract: Our team was selected as one of the few finalists for an opportunity to build a startup from scratch over a one-week intensive entrepreneurship bootcamp with Professor Steve Blank and other veteran VCs across Silicon Valley and Silicon Alley (1 of 2 undergrad teams in a highly selective MBA course). We built a product that connects travelers with locals on the spot for authentic cultural immersion, while promoting local businesses. We scaled the startup with approximately 70 user interviews in just one week via customer discovery to competitive analysis to perpetual business model iterations. We delivered the final pitch to the ten VCs.

Timeline: January 2020 (1 Week)
