This document summarizes Bob Dorf's presentation on business models and customer development. It emphasizes that most startups fail due to a lack of customers rather than product failures. It promotes applying a customer development process even for non-startups to test ideas and business models through customer feedback and pivoting. This process involves continuous discovery, validating hypotheses with customers, and adjusting plans based on what customers say, not what founders think.
Singularity University was founded in September 2008 by Ray Kurzweil and Peter Diamandis to educate and inspire leaders about exponentially advancing technologies. The 10-week Graduate Studies Program brings together 80 rising leaders from 35 countries to work on interdisciplinary team projects focusing on grand challenges. Examples of projects include low-cost sensors for the Internet of Things, 3D printing, robotics, synthetic biology, and more. Several companies have been started from SU team projects, including Getaround, ACASA, and Made In Space. Participant feedback highlights themes of using new technologies to address problems like poverty, lack of infrastructure, and more.
