SYRACUSE — The Department of Entrepreneurship & Emerging Enterprises at Syracuse University’s Martin J. Whitman School of Management will host author and serial entrepreneur Bob Dorf on Wednesday evening, April 23, for a presentation, entitled “Let Your Customers Design Your Startup: Putting Lean Startup Principles to Work.”
The event will be held from 7 to 8 p.m. in room 202 of the Whitman School at 721 University Ave. A networking session takes place before the presentation from 6 to 7 p.m. in Whitman’s Milton Room, room 411. Both events are free and open to the public, according to a Whitman School news release.
Dorf travels the world helping startups, incubators, governments, and established corporations learn how to effectively deploy customer-development processes through speaking engagements, workshops, and intensive hands-on startup boot camps, the Whitman School said. He teaches customer development and business modeling in full-semester and weeklong classes at Columbia Business School, where he is an adjunct professor of entrepreneurship.
