Inside HBS with Jeff Bussgang - November 12th, 2020

Everyone, Jeff Busgang here from Harvard Business School and Flybridge Capital. Just with a quick update on ltv. This week we had two fantastic sessions doing something totally new in both sessions. First we kicked off our new module on financing, exits and ethics with a case on Katabook, an Indian based small business software package that provides ledger services for small merchants. And it was a great case both on product led growth and also ethical choices that the founder made in driving that growth. And then the second session was on a new concept we launched this year, which was the Startup pitch exercise where we had the teams break up into 13 breakout groups with a young venture capitalist in each breakout group and had founders pitch and then get feedback on their pitch so that we could really help hone pitching skills. And the faculty delivered a great deal of feedback throughout the whole system and process. And then afterwards we came together and we saw two amazing entrepreneurs deliver fantastic series A pitches. The second entrepreneur had some technical glitches, which in the age of COVID is certainly the norm. And so watching her adjust and react was a teachable moment for sure. So that's the wrap up for this week. We'll see you next week.
