This course is meant for innovators, entrepreneurs, founders, corporate intrapreneurs, consultants, and anyone else involved in innovation who wants to learn to run better experiments. 

The course deals with qualitative and quantitative experiments, and offline as well as online experiments. 

You can use the experiments in this course at any stage of the startup journey, but the examples focus on the earlier stages of idea validation and problem-market fit, problem solution fit, and product market fit. 

The goal of the course is to:

  • Give you a deeper understanding of experiment driven innovation
  • Give you the tools, skills, and knowledge to design your own experiments
  • Give you 25 practical experiment recipes you can use almost immediately
  • Give you inspiration for your own experiment recipes
