The Founder Talks speaker series is hosted by Launch Lab X GEO and features remarkable Harvard alumni leaders with incredible entrepreneurial stories.
This session is open to anyone in the Harvard community — current students, alumni, staff/faculty, and affiliates.
Funnels are remarkably useful in many aspects of startup life. Whether you are trying to get users to try your product, sell to an enterprise customer, hire an engineer, or raise capital, you are dealing with a funnel.
Meanwhile, “Magic Moments” are a hypothesis that gets your customer “hooked,” creates a high LTV and will be profitable for the business. Learn how these valuable frameworks will help you think through any challenge and create a sustainable and viable venture.
