What’s your minimum viable product? Are you leveraging social proof to get intros for customer development? How are you going to hustle your way to traction while you search for product/market fit? 

Like any industry, the business of startups is steeped in its own jargon. Some of it can be buzzword-bingo, but buried in there are important concepts, and knowing how to use it properly can make sure you get your point across concisely.

Each year, teams entering the MIT Founders’ Skills Accelerator program spend the first few weeks adjusting to the new terms they’re faced with, so we build this course to get them going faster. If you’re a first-time founder, considering applying to an accelerator program this year, or are looking to plug into startups in Boston, this course is for you.
