About this Event
In essence, customer discovery in structured listening: you go out, interview people, observe them, and map their journey around a problem you care about.
For this innovation partner highlight, the eHub is bringing in Dave Weiner, the Program Director of the NW Hub NSF I-Corps program, to discuss the importance of customer discovery when developing a venture and share how I-Corps can help you validate your idea.
offers a free remote 10 day market validation course based on Steve Blank's Lean Launchpad that teaches you to identify and refine your value propositions and customer segments and accelerate finding product-market fit. Outside of the three evening class sessions, you'll invest 30-35 hours conducting 20 interviews with potential customers as part of the customer discovery process.
NSF I-Corps is designed for teams with an early stage STEM technology innovation based startup or startup idea. Teams that complete I-Corps are three times more likely to be awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant. Nearly 1,400 NSF I-Corps teams have launched startups which have cumulatively raised $3.2 billion in subsequent funding.
The next Berkeley NSF I-Corps course has sessions in March. The application deadline is February 27th. Learn more and apply at
