• 1.B.3 Purpose/Values/Mission: what is the purpose, values, and mission?

• 1.B.4 Key Questions: List 2 or 3 key questions that will guide the startup's choices. These should be essential questions that serve as touchstones to direct your company's efforts. For instance, how can the startup have an impact? What engages our passions?

You should have a minimum of 3 OKRs . The documentation for EACH OKR is 500 words minimum (total for 3 OKRs is 1500 words minimum)

***** USE THE CONTENT YOUR TEAM MEMBERS CREATED INDIVIDUALLY IN THEIR PROJECT ON Entrepreneurial Strategy with Ethical Impacts & Safeguards******If you have less than 3 people in your group you are still required to create 3 OKRs with all of the required information. FOR each of the required 3 OKRs you should have content as outlined in the Individual project:

1: OKR description, 2: its Metric(s) with Experiment(s), 3: Ethical Impact(s)/Issue(s) 4: Ethical Safeguards.

1. Identify potential opportunities. Combine your own personal experiences and creativity with external forecasts and trend analysis. How is the world changing with respect to new technologies? What is the impact of globalization on current solutions? What new requirements will those changes produce? Recent media articles on trends are often a good place to start. Additionally, you may want to look through Stanford's Office of Technology and Licensing for new technologies that have been developed at the University.
2. Define your purpose and objectives. Identify your most promising opportunity, being careful to discriminate between an interesting technological idea and a viable market opportunity. Prepare an outline which will help you to determine what types of data and information you need to demonstrate the attractiveness of your chosen opportunity.
