About the Course

Build for Impact Part I helps you slow down and focus on the problem you’re uniquely positioned to solve. You’ll clarify your user and buyer, surface assumptions, and pressure-test your thinking before jumping into solutions. By the end, you’ll have a grounded, evidence-informed foundation instead of a vague or overbuilt idea.
