About this Event
Customer discovery is one of the first steps in any venture and an ongoing process for gaining key insights. For this innovation partner highlight, the eHub is bringing in Dave Weiner, the Program Director of the UC Berkeley NSF I-Corps program, to discuss the importance of customer discovery when developing a venture and share about the different I-Corps programs students can take advantage of.
Join us for lunch and an informational session with Dave on March 10th from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. See you then!
