Playing Lean @ The Foundry (Collingwood)

​Join us to learn how entrepreneurs can avoid the common pitfalls and mistakes of starting a company or launching a product without risking their bank account, their ego, or their reputation.

​During the session, ecosystem builder and startup mentor Craig Elias will help local entrepreneurs, mentors, educators, students, ecosystem builders, and economic developers learn how to launch a successful company by using a specialized Norwegian board game called Playing Lean to help participants:

• ​Learn and practice lean startup skills

• ​Feel the highs and lows of entrepreneurship

• ​Learn the truth about commonly-held startup myths

• ​Discover how to improve a startup's odds of success

• ​Understand and develop the mindset of an entrepreneur

• ​Experience the challenges and trade-offs of starting a company

​Playing Lean is an entrepreneurship learning tool developed in collaboration with the creator of the Lean Canvas - Ash Maurya - and the author of Testing Business Ideas - Alexander Osterwalder.

​This session is an amazing way to learn how to start a successful company that is educational, competitive, and so addictive you'll want to play the game again.
