What To Do
There are a number of things which we assume you are doing:
- Buy the Lean Startup book above, and read it over the course of a couple of weeks, taking notes
- Also read the free Getting Real book, taking notes
- Form a team
- Get to work on your startup
Office hours are for feedback. They are optional now but will become mandatory later
in the semester when we'll want to see what your weekly progress is. They are also perfect
if you (a) have no idea what to work on and want to chat about ideas or (b) have an idea
and wish to get some feedback or commentary on it. Use them well! It is what we are here for.
