Building a startup, venture, or applied project often means making decisions with incomplete information. This practical working session will help participants identify real market signals before spending months on the wrong customer, pricing, message, or channel.

On this walk we will explore campus and learn about the plant, tree, animal, bird, insect, water and soil relationships that exist here. We will learn about how urban ecologies reflect interconnection and indigeneity, about how ecologies are inclusive of humans and our effect on relationships on the land.
