WAKE UP
3 Days Design Sprint
Design Sprint Program for Young Entrepreneurs
About
The WAKE UP program is designed for young entrepreneurs who want to set up their own businesses, use innovative methods, create innovative business ideas and realize their dreams. 3 Days Design Sprint is carried out by idea development, product development and creating a lean business model.
"TİM-TEB Startup Houses" applied the sprints with students who have not yet found a business idea and teach them how to achieve the right product-market fit with Design Thinking methods.
Turkey Exporters Assembly (TİM) and Turkish Economy Bank (TEB) have conducted Wake Up program multiple times at more than 30 Universities in Turkey. I created and run the program in 2016 and 2017.
