FInalist presentation for Lean Startup Machine NY on April 03, 2011

1. I wanna be an LSM Champion!
Rob Caucci, Eric Ma, Ben Solari, Alex Topiler and Lisa Zhang

3. Students and young
professionals do not
have a way to quickly
and effectively vet
relevant and quality
resources to identify the
right career choices.

4. Students and young pro:
1. Don’t know all the
potential options.
2. Know what they like to
do but don’t know what
would fit them best.
3. Have inadequate and
scattered resources.

5. Getting out of the building:
• Conversations with over 20 students and
young professionals in and around Union
Square and Washington Square Park.
Results:
• Some know what they would like to do
and some have no clue – 50/50
• People feel like the resources are out
there
Generally, results were all over the map

6. Time
to
Swing
Dance!

7. New Assumptions
Upperclassman Students:
1. Are burdened with student loan debt,
which deters them from pursuing their
calling.
2. Have other necessities which consume
financial resources and prevent them
from following their dreams.
3. Do not have a way to receive additional
support post-graduation for pursuing
worthwhile endeavors

9. “Don’t rely on donors’ altruism.”
– LSM Mentor
