Enrollment in this course is by permission of the instructor at the time of Spring 2023 course registration. Interested students should complete this brief survey. The Venture Lab is a customer discovery-led exploration and validation method that has been adapted for social impact ventures. The course incorporates business model development, customer discovery, and design thinking to support students on their path toward sustainable revenue generation and growth. Participants come away with the tools needed to plan for financial sustainability, address critical societal challenges, and demonstrate the potential for scalable impact. Preference is given to students who have already started developing their venture concept, have formed a team of two or more people, and are prepared to validate their business model in anticipation of launching their venture. Students may also form ventures with participants from outside The New School through as Continuing Education students.

The Venture Lab is an elective course for the Graduate Minor in Impact Entrepreneurship.
