Shark Tank Update 10/2/16

We have our first round of mentor meetings on Thursday!  Students will have the opportunity to meet with an entrepreneurial mentor for 20 minutes to get advice about their business ideas.  If your student is NOT going to be here on Thursday for whatever reason, please let me know so that I can alter the mentor schedule.

Our primary work this week will be on the following:

  • Interview Script:  Students will be developing interview scripts to learn more about their target consumers.
  • Mentor Prep:  Students will be preparing for our mentor meetings.

Upcoming due dates:

  • Monday:  Sign-off on Business Canvas.  Canvas should be proofread, polished, and complete at this time.
  • Thursday:  Prior to the mentor meeting, students should have:
    • Two copies of their business canvas printed out.
    • A copy of their interview script to share and get feedback on.
    • A prototype (optional)
    • Questions for their mentor.
    • Mentor prep document complete.
  • Wednesday, October 12th.  Three customer interviews should be complete with notes.

Thank you for all the continued support.  I’m excited to see how the students’ ideas continue to evolve.  Have a great week!  -JF
