SUMMARY:Building a Lean Startup - Fall 2026
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to jumpstart your business idea in this 7 session course using the Lean Startup methodology.\n\n\nBuilding a Lean StartupWednesdays\, Sept 23 – Nov 11 | 6:45–8:15 pm | Room 208 | No class on October 14 \nThe Hurt Hub at Davidson is excited to be offering another round of the Building a Lean Startup course for all interested students\, faculty\, staff\, and members of the general public. This course is an opportunity for individuals or small business teams to learn about the core principles of entrepreneurship and work on developing an idea through the Lean Startup methodology. No previous business experience required! \nThe Lean Startup methodology is an approach to building new businesses rooted in the belief that entrepreneurs must investigate\, experiment\, test\, and iterate as they develop new products and services. Unlike traditional startup approaches\, lean startups move quickly\, iterate often and continuously solicit feedback from their customers. \nTaught by Rebecca Weeks Watson*\, Building a Lean Startup is a 7-session course covering topics including how to come up with business ideas\, how to get users/customers and grow\, how to execute on sales and marketing\, how to hire\, how to raise money\, which key metrics to measure\, and more. All of these topic areas will rely on a build-measure-learn approach to make sure you find effective solutions quickly and inexpensively. \nLean Startup is a mindset and a methodology that is used across industries\, sectors\, and professions to solve problems and understand what your customers need most. We welcome people from all backgrounds and encourage an open and engaged mindset! \nCost: \nThanks to the Hurt Hub’s partnerships and with the support of Amplify Davidson\, this course is free to particpants. \nCourse Schedule: \nWednesday Evenings\, September 23 – November 11 | 7 Weeks\, 6:45–8:15 pm. No class on October 14. \n*Please email chsmith2@davidson.edu for any accomodations needed related to missing class. \nAbout the Instructor: Rebecca Weeks Watson is a digital media entrepreneur with 17 years of experience in Silicon Valley and two U.S. patent awards. After starting her career in finance and then consulting for Match.com\, she decided to pursue her interest in the startup world. She was on the founding team and led Business Development for two different marketing technology companies\, one of which was acquired by Meredith Corporation. She has spoken at 50 conferences nationwide and enjoys lecturing at the University of Virginia’s undergrad business school.
