About Event

** We will be playing in the NAIT CAT building in the cafeteria on the main floor **

Join us to learn how you can avoid the common pitfalls and mistakes of starting a company without risking your bank account, your ego, or your reputation.

​During the session, ecosystem builders and startup mentors Brandy Old (Lethbridge) and Craig Elias (Calgary) help NAIT students and local entrepreneurs learn how to launch a successful company by using a specialized board game called Playing Lean that comes out of Norway.

During the session, you will:

  • Develop and practice lean startup skills

  • Learn the truth about commonly-held startup myths

  • Feel some of the highs and lows of entrepreneurship

  • Discover how to improve a startup's odds of success

  • Understand and develop the mindset of an entrepreneur

  • Experience the challenges and trade-offs of starting a company

... all in a fun and competitive environment.

Playing Lean is an entrepreneurship learning tool developed in collaboration with the creator of the Lean Canvas - Ash Maurya - and the author of Testing Business Ideas - Alexander Osterwalder.

This session is an amazing way to learn how to start a successful company that is educational, competitive, and so addictive you'll want to play the game again.

Call or text (Craig Elias (+1.403.874.2998) if you have any questions before registering.

P.S. If you want to get a head start learning how to play/win the game, watch this YouTube video.
