The Lean Launchpad Experience
The Healthcare Innovation track dives deep into business creation and startup ventures through the hands-on, real world experience of the Lean Launchpad. The Lean Launchpad for Healthcare and Life Sciences teaches innovators, entrepreneurs, clinicians and scientists how to assess whether an idea or technology can serve as the basis for business. With a focus on the marketplace, you’ll learn to validate an idea to move into the commercial world alongside a team of fellow MBA students. Examples include:
- Gathering data essential to customer purchases before doing the science
- Defining clinical utility now, before spending millions of dollars
- Identifying financing vehicles before they’re needed
- Assessing regulatory risk before you design and build
