The Lean LaunchPad Class: Its the same, but different

We just finished the 8th annual Lean LaunchPad class at Stanford. The team presentations are at the end of this post.\nIt\u2019s hard to imagine, but only a decade ago, the capstone entrepreneurship class in most universities was how to write \u2013 or pitch- a business plan. As a serial entrepreneur turned educator, this didn\u2019t make sense to me. In my experience, I saw that most business plans don\u2019t survive first contact with customers.
