In the heart of San Francisco, a battleground of ideas was set! The 72-hour Lean Innovation Bootcamp, in partnership with Lean Startup Week, was more than just a competition—it was an electrifying race against time. With Google Ventures and other prominent VCs on-site, the stakes were sky-high, and the atmosphere, electric. A whirlwind of ideas, passion, and adrenaline-charged determination converged into 10 relentless teams, each with a dream to be realized. Here's a glimpse into the storm my team and I weathered.
Our task? Simple yet monumental: Forge an MVP in 72 relentless hours using Lean Startup Methodology and present our brainchild to three venture titans. The prize? Seed funding to turn dreams into reality.
As the leader of this indomitable squad, I orchestrated our efforts throughout those sleep-deprived yet exhilarating hours. Our masterpiece? A prototype hewn in the crucible of insight, survey responses, and research—all within the final two nerve-wracking hours of the bootcamp.
Those 72 hours were a forge, a crucible of innovation and teamwork. Leading a band of strangers towards a common goal, we built something that shimmered with potential, something that won us 3rd place amidst fierce competition. I look back with pride at the mountains we moved, the odds we defied, and the brilliance we achieved in that breakneck weekend.
