Page Text: Coach students as they tackle problems far beyond their own experiences.
Empower
Provide insight into advanced knowledge within your field of expertise and connections to additional resources from your network.
Fund
Work with universities to provide opportunities for teams to travel, prototype, and test solutions.
As a mentor, you are an extension of the Teaching Team which influences the success of one team with three to five students.
In ten-fourteen short weeks your team will go beyond the classroom to test hypotheses and help their sponsor better understand and address their problem.
Your role is to challenge teams to test their hypothesis, provide feedback on MVP iterations, and professional development skills. To the best of your ability, help students network the communities that their problem influences through cold calls, emails, customer interviews, and survey skills. If applicable, connect teams to those within your network who are relevant to the problem at hand and are willing to engage with students.
Remember:
While some student teams do leave our course on the path to developing an LLC, an organization, or product, H4 is not an incubator or an accelerator.
H4 is designed to give students insight into industries and communities that benefit from innovative solutions. The H4 classroom is all about building models, heuristics, and experiences they can apply when they graduate.
