Final Assignment - Entrepreneurial Project Review and Presentation

Final Assignment: Entrepreneurial Project Review and Presentation

This is your final assignment for the Hatchable entrepreneurship course. It is in three parts — and it brings together everything you have built and learned over the past eight modules.

Take your time. This is the capstone of your entrepreneurship journey.

Part 1: Lean Canvas Revision

Your Lean Canvas has evolved throughout this course. In this part, you will do a final review and refinement.

Instructions

  1. Review your complete Lean Canvas — look at every section you have filled in across the modules.

  2. Revise and strengthen each section based on everything you have learned:

    • Have you identified a clear, specific problem?
    • Are your customer segments well-defined?
    • Is your Unique Value Proposition strong and differentiated?
    • Do your revenue streams or funding sources make sense?
    • Are your key metrics measurable and actionable?

  3. Complete any sections that are still blank or underdeveloped. By the end of this module, your Lean Canvas should be fully filled in.

  4. Add an Impact Measurement section (even if it is not a standard Lean Canvas box): List 2–3 metrics you would use to measure whether your project is making a real difference in your community.

What to Submit

A complete, revised Lean Canvas. You may submit it as:

  • A written description of each section
  • A photograph or scan of a hand-drawn canvas
  • A digital canvas image (Figma, Canva, Google Slides, etc.)

Part 2: One-Page Business Plan

Write a one-page business plan that complements your Lean Canvas. This is not a full traditional business plan — it is a concise, focused document that covers the key elements.

Your One-Page Plan Should Include:

Executive Summary (2–3 sentences) What is your project? Who does it serve? What problem does it solve?

Market Analysis (3–5 bullet points)

  • Who is your target customer?
  • How large is your potential market?
  • Who are your main competitors or alternatives?
  • What gives you an advantage?

Marketing Strategy (3–5 bullet points)

  • How will you reach your customers?
  • What channels will you use (social media, word of mouth, partnerships, etc.)?
  • What is your key message to your customers?

Operational Plan (3–5 bullet points)

  • What are the key activities required to deliver your product or service?
  • What resources do you need?
  • Who does what (if you have a team)?

Financial Projections (simple, honest estimates)

  • Start-up costs
  • Ongoing monthly expenses
  • Revenue or funding sources
  • Break-even timeline (if for-profit)

Ethical Considerations (2–3 sentences) What ethical commitments does your project make — to your customers, your community, or the environment?

Part 3: Five-Minute Pitch Video

Record a short video presentation (approximately 5 minutes) pitching your entrepreneurial project.

Your Pitch Should Cover:

  1. Introduction — Who are you? What is your project called?

  2. The Problem — What problem does your project solve? Who experiences this problem?

  3. Your Solution — What is your solution? How does it work?

  4. Your Unique Value Proposition — What makes your project different? Why should someone choose it?

  5. Your Lean Canvas Highlights — Briefly walk through 2–3 key sections of your canvas (customer segments, revenue/funding, key metrics)

  6. Impact Measurement — How will you know your project is making a difference? What would you measure?

  7. Your Ask or Call to Action — What do you want your audience to do? (Join your project? Fund it? Spread the word?)

Submission Tips

  • Record in a quiet space with good lighting
  • Look at the camera — not at your notes
  • Speak clearly and at a steady pace
  • You may use slides or your Lean Canvas as a backdrop — but you should be the focus
  • It does not need to be professionally produced. Authenticity matters more than polish.

Submission Requirements

Submit all three parts together:

| Part | Format | |------|--------| | Lean Canvas | Written description, image, or PDF | | One-Page Business Plan | Written in the submission box or uploaded as a document | | Pitch Video | YouTube/TikTok link (unlisted), Google Drive link, or uploaded file |

A Final Note

This assignment is not just an academic exercise. It is a real plan for a real project — one that you could actually pursue.

You have spent eight modules developing the knowledge, tools, and mindset of an entrepreneur. This final submission is your chance to show yourself — and the world — what you have built.

We cannot wait to see what you have created.
