“My time at the Lubar Entrepreneurship Center has been completely invaluable. I made many dozens of connections related to my product, many of whom gave me advice which altered my path to success, I learned about lean launch methodology which helped me conduct over 100 customer discovery interviews and create a stellar minimum viable product.”
