83. How tech companies bring new ideas to life
This is not how it works in tech companies. When the likes of Airbnb and Slack bring new apps or features to market, they use the Sprint Method. It is a methodology developed by Google Ventures to bring new ideas to life and test them quickly and cheaply.
Learn how this works in this podcast.
Learning notes from this episode:
- The aim of a sprint is to test an idea for a new product to find out whether it is worth investing more money in. For example, you can use a sprint to test an idea for an app by creating a prototype. If users like what you’ve made, only then should you hire developers.
- Each sprint should focus on one idea to test. Do not try to test multiple ideas in one sprint.
- To figure out where the biggest risks in a new idea lie, ask yourself: if this time in a year, this project failed, why would it have done so?
- A sprint team contains 5 – 7 people with different backgrounds. Only one should be an engineer, the rest should come from marketing, finance, design and more. This is because the sprint is about testing whether the product needs to exist, not how to build it.

AI Design Sprint – Wie finde ich gute KI-Ideen?
Lediglich vier Prozent der Unternehmen in Deutschland setzen KI ein, zwei Prozent implementieren KI-Systeme zurzeit, 17 Prozent planen KI-Einsätze oder testen sie. 28 Prozent halten KI für relevant, planen jedoch keinen Einsatz. Dabei gibt es bereits viele funktionierende und effizienzsteigernde Anwendungen. Wo kann das eigene Unternehmen nun aber starten, um KI einzusetzen?
"Der Weg, KI-Konzepte als Team zu entwickeln, erfordert keine technischen Kenntnisse." - das verspricht der AI Design Sprint™ von 33A. Wo hilft der Design Sprint, der bei Google Ventures entwickelt wurde, und was bedeutet die spezielle Ausrichtung auf Künstliche Intelligenz?
Unser Gast heute: Mike Brandt, Dozent, Buchautor und Co-Founder von 33A

48. How to make a prototype for your product (Part 2)
Making a prototype is a key step in your journey in bringing your tech idea to life. Begin with UX research, which we covered in last week’s episode.
With your research done, it’s time to move on to making a “fake product," which you will test with real users to see if there is enough demand to invest in creating the real thing.
To do this, Sophia takes you through the Sprint method developed by Google Ventures. Using this method, you can have a tested prototype in just 5 days.
Learning notes from this episode:
- The aim of a prototype is test the key assumptions you are making about users and their behaviour.
- Even the greatest prototype is usually very far from a plan that could be given to developers to code. For example, an app prototype from a sprint usually does not contain screens like the setting screen, where you can manage your account, or designs to reset a forgotten password.
- Book 5 people to test your prototype. Research shows that 85% of the problems in your product can be discovered by the first 4 people. You always want to book a 5th, in case one person cancels.
- Your first prototype will need to be adjusted and tested again. This is normal, so make space for it in your budget.

Global Venture Catalyst's Real World Innovation in a Virtual Environment with Mike Grandinetti and Iklaq Sidhu, PhD
Mike Grandinetti and Dr. Ikhlaq Sidhu first appeared on the show in November 2020 to discuss their plans and the then upcoming launch of the Global Venture Catalyst (GVC) platform and community.
The GVC initiative is aligned with a number of COVID-19 innovation-focused podcasts that I collaborated on with Mike in the Spring and Summer of 2020 to highlight how a number of institutions, from Mass General Hospital to Georgia Tech to Rutgers to the Smith College Picker School of Engineering were breaking down silos and bringing together previously disparate groups to create critically needed ICU-class mechanical ventilators, incubation boxes, and face shields to overcome supply chain bottlenecks and life threatening shortages of this critical Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
In this promised follow-up episode, Iklaq and Mike provide an update on the key take-ways of the GVC event, which operated on five continents simultaneously between January 9-17, 2021
Here's a quick executive summary of this exciting - and groundbreaking - initiative:
170 students participated with representation from the top 25 research universities globally and the top 20 MBA programs globally
Successful global corporate collaboration with Medtronic, Dassault, Next Era Energy, Applied Material, Celonis, Elkem, Axel Springer, and others
Successful participation of global VC funds and tech accelerators, including LearnLaunch EdTechAccelerator, Blockchain Founders Fund, Amazon LaunchPad, and others
Successful participation of global advanced tech startups
Major learnings
Tested AI algorithms for creating student teams
GVC's project-based team collaborations/spring are the new job interview
GVC is creating the education program of the future by:
- Unlocking latent potential of students
- Providing project - based learning in real life situations (STARTUP ventures and firms)
- Developing a professional profile for tech skills and also for proactive team behaviors (IQ/EQ/collaboration skills)
- Delivering a benefit to all stakeholders
- Helping students unlock potential, learn on real projects, and meet industry leaders and learn about industry players they likely would not have otherwise encountered
- Participating companies get visibility with a sought-after talent pool, targeted recruiting opportunities, and can benefit from the solution of, or progress towards resolving, actual problems
- Nurturing emerging ecosystems, diversity slate, and CSR
GVC major take-aways
1. Global community of innovators across 5 continents came together very quickly
2. Validated huge gap between companies and young, hyper-current skilled students
3. Great tech talent is truly globally dispersed
4. Undergraduate students can make huge contributions
5. The design sprint methodology, infused with the innovation-engineering methodology - is powerful and effective across many “use cases” (AI/ Machine Learning; tech assessment; UI/CX; Minimum Viable Product)
6. It’s remarkable what can be achieved in a 4-day focused sprint to unleash innovation
7. Some students hired to be interns, for example:
- Czech student with strong hired as intern by Boston EdTech company led by MIT CSEE grad)
- US MechEng student with career goal to work in auto industry to be hired as intern by a European company building next gen EV lithium ion batteries
Going Forward Plans
Build a platform and a community
Continue to grow global community
Provide additional opportunities for students to realize their professional goals and ambitions through a range of programs, including:
- Short term consulting projects - funded by scholarships/ stipends / etc.)
- Fellowships to contribute to building GVC community
- Create additional opportunities for companies to hire the very best students (both EQ/IQ) to support access to critical talent (including racially and ethnically diverse talent) and innovation activation goals through a range of programs
- Leverage hybrid faculty, students
- Launch more sprints, short-term consulting projects
- Provide developing countries and regions with opportunities to help advance their students educational STEM skills by transcending limited local resources and expertise and integrating these participants them into a larger global digital ecosystem

storytelling with data: #34 a conversation with John Zeratsky
With days defined by distraction, how can we solve big problems and make time for what matters? Cole talks with technology designer and author of Sprint and Make Time, John Zeratsky, about the power of focus for getting things done. John details the design sprint process perfected at Google Ventures—detailing the value of “working alone, together” to generate better ideas, the benefits of prototyping and testing with real customers, particularly when the stakes are high, and much more. He also shares patterns uncovered from successful sprints that can be applied to everyday work. Tune in to learn why we shouldn’t rely on willpower to focus, how to create barriers to distraction, and the satisfaction you can reap by proactively designing your day.

Taking Control Of Your Day w/ Jake Knapp
We are approaching the end of another year. A year I’m sure that was mixed with ups and downs but we are here, in this present moment, together taking time to fuel and train our minds. This I’m incredibly grateful for.
It’s also a time of year where we naturally slow down and have more space to reflect. I wanted to share the most popular episode (#36) from the podcast of all time - Taking Control Of Your Day With Jake Knapp. It’s fitting for this time of year as Jake leaves many great insights and practices that can help as you go through your reflection.
Two great journaling prompts:
- Does this feel right in my heart?
- If I was going to die in a year, how would I spend my time?
Jake Knapp is the author of Make Time and the New York Times bestseller Sprint. Jake spent 10 years at Google and Google Ventures, where he created the Design Sprint. He has since coached teams like Slack, Uber, 23andMe, LEGO, and The New York Times on the method.
He’s also working on The Highlight Course coming in January 2020 to help people make time for what matters every day!
Thanks as always for listening and have the best day yet!⠀
