Teams will experience every aspect of the startup and software development process, receive coaching from young professionals, and present their final business plan and software prototype in the final week to a panel of judges.June 18, 2020 - Over the last two days, I had two amazing networking chats with Sarah Wolfolds, the assistant professor of strategy at Cornell University, and John Tobin the former Head of Global Sustainability at Credit Suisse. I learned about each of their unique journeys in the intersection of for-profits and social responsibility in response to changing social trends. It’s super inspiring to see all the mentors at Origin sharing their knowledge and giving back with a goal to empower students.June 25 - This week my team and I got started on conducting user research for our project. On my part, to truly understand and decide if a customer segment would be right to target, I devised a list of hypotheses and interview questions to learn more about the pain points and needs of the people I'm selling to. The process involved stating the team objective, defining a target population, selecting a sampling design, and a method of measure. We got access to software like Google Forms and Qualtrics to help reach out to 8 people in a way that was simple and easy to understand. Show less
