60minutes as a Founder

This isn't a lecture on startups. It's a game where you become one.

Part 1: Breaking the Myths
- What founders actually do vs. what you think they do
- Why most "great ideas" fail—and what really matters
- Real stories: startups that crashed and ones that made it
- Open discussion—not a one-way lecture

Part 2: The Startup Simulation
You'll compete in teams and face real founder challenges:
✅ Find a problem worth solving
✅ Build your solution and identify customers
✅ Make tough decisions: pricing, pivots, trade-offs
✅ Face competition from other teams
✅ Pitch your startup to the room

It's intense. It's messy. It's how startups work.

Part 3: Debrief + Q&A
- What worked? What failed? Why?
- Reflection on your decisions
- Open questions about entrepreneurship
- Key takeaways on execution and learning
