Tetuan Valley Startup School 8 was held in spring 2013 and consisted of weekly classes on topics relevant to starting a company such as customer development, software development, and finance. Each class was structured with a main topic presentation, guest speaker, and group discussion. Students also had time for pitching practice and workshops. The 6-week course culminated in a hackathon and included classes on customer validation, metrics, corporate finance, and attracting investors.
