Do you want to launch a new venture? Got a "killer idea" that you've been toying with over the last few months, and want to see whether you have what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur? Then drop by Launchpad's Product/Market Fit Assessment Lab (office hours) at the d.school! Launchpad's professors will be on-hand to chat with Stanford students and the public.
