These groups are adapting or adopting the practices of startups and accelerators – disruption and innovation rather than direct competition, customer development versus more product features, agility and speed versus lowest cost. Somewhere in the dim past of the company, it too was a startup searching for a business model.

The easy part is, “Let’s have an incubator.” Today the capstone class is most often experiential, team-based, hands on, focused around the search for a repeatable and scalable business model. A third is incubators and makers’ spaces. . “I want to see what you look like in a prison suit.”

These Key Performance Indicators and processes are what make a company efficient —but they are also the root cause of its inability to be agile and innovative. So how does a company act like a startup in search of new business models while still continuing to successfully execute? Act Like a Startup.

It dawned on me that the plans were a symptom of a larger problem: we were executing business plans when we should first be searching for business models. So what would a search process for a business model look like? I read a ton of existing literature and came up with a formal methodology for search I called Customer Development.

With the pace of innovation increasing, and powerful new tools—such as cloud storage of big data sets and machine learning algorithms for mining that data—now affordable and accessible to even fledgling start-ups, even the most powerful incumbents, such as Walmart and Microsoft, must learn to be more agile in both product development and marketing.

The class is intensely and deliberately experiential to develop the mindset, reflexes, agility and resilience an entrepreneur needs to search for certainty in a chaotic world. Startups are in fact only temporary organizations, organized to search –not execute–for a scalable and repeatable business model.

Innovation sprints, hackathons, and other rapid, agile problem-solving and prototyping approaches may seem like the antithesis of the academic approach to research. This is often described as desktop research and is a critical step in incubating an innovation. Put simply, PhD graduates are highly-trained experts in research.

Small, agile funds are in an excellent position to take advantage of opportunities in the angel space. There are a minimum of 2,000 companies per year getting funded and coming out if incubators, and there are only 750 VCs that call themselves ‘active.’ That is what we are doing through our own investments.

Pivots are what allows startups to be agile, and to move with speed and urgency. Yet for the purpose of the class (versus an incubator) we do just that – we keep marching the teams through each canvas component because we want to teach them about all nine parts of the canvas. This week we are seeing the typical class distribution.

I certainly think that having a failed startup can be an important motivator to do the soul-searching required to really learn, but I havent given up on being able to affect the odds of success for future entrepreneurs on their first time out.

Its goal is to take the original idea and search for a repeatable and scalable business model - first by finding product/market fit, then by testing all the parts of the business model (pricing, channel, acquisition/activation, partners, costs, etc.). This is the group who will build the company. And what is critical is trust.

In addition to super angels, incubators like Y Combinator , TechStars and the 100+ plus others worldwide like them have begun to formalize seed-investing. The emergence of incubators and super angels have dramatically expanded the sources of seed capital. While companies execute business models, startups search for a business model.

What this means is that the emergence of incubators and super angels have dramatically expanded the sources of seed capital. What we’ve learned is that while companies execute business models, startups search for a business model. Their need to get into high-profile deals has driven late-stage valuations into unicorn territory.
