Recently I had the pleasure to once again hold a couple of startup entrepreneurship workshops for select alumni of DAAD and the Humboldt community!

On Zoom / remote to an eclectic and international group of over 40 academics, I held one workshop on evidence-driven problem discovery and using AI in that process. A second on Customer Discovery & assumption testing, including how we can test our critical assumptions behind our ideas for a business using validation experiments and tests – and also how to use AI to build validation experiments and MVPs.

Alumniportal Deutschland is a non-profit online social network of “Germany Alumni” that is designed internationally for people who have studied, researched, worked or completed further training or a language course in Germany or at a German institution abroad.

The primary non-profit and non-governmental organizations responsible for creating, maintaining and promoting Alumniportal Deutschland are the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD – the world’s largest funding organisation for the international exchange of students and researchers), and the Goethe-Institut. Since 2019, the Federal Foreign Office (Auswärtiges Amt) is responsible for funding the portal.
