Startups 3.0: Seeing the System

Fady Saad, Shirish Nilekar

Enrollment: Limited: First come, first served (no advance sign-up)
Limited to 50 participants
Attendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions
Prereq: none

Majority of startups fail because of managerial issues, and mainly because managers fail to see the organizational system. This practical and concise activity will explore the different lifecycle phases an organization goes through, and the changing needs in each phase. At the end of this activity, students will be able to see the complete startup system and the interdependency between its elements
