Module 9: Solution

Learning objectives: how to craft and present your solution.

If you are tackling a big problem, you must have a solution for it. This is not the same as your product, which is the service or experience you offer customers. Whereas products iterate regularly, solutions endure. This module will help you to craft your solution, align it to your problem, and identify the right highlights to share with investors.
