The Kauffman Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to entrepreneurship, recently launched an educational video series for startup founders. Here is part two of the series.

With a ~$2 billion endowment the Kauffman Foundation is the largest non-profit focused on entrepreneurship in the world. The giving away of $80 million every year (with about $25 million going toward entrepreneurial causes) makes Kauffman the dominant player in the entrepreneurship space.

Kauffman launched Founders School, a new education series to help entrepreneurs develop their businesses during the startup stage by highlighting how startups are different from big companies and in January 2014 Part 1 of the “Startups” section of Founders School went online.

Now you can watch Part 2 “The Lean Approach“.

This group of six videos provides an overview of how to successfully do Customer Discovery. You’ll learn how to:

• Get to know your customers
• Devise ways to test your hypotheses
• Glean insights from what you learn outside the building
• Get, keep and grow customers

As in the first part of this series, I’m in good company–I’m joined in Founders School by Noam Wasserman of Harvard teaching Founder’s Dilemmas, Craig Wortmann University of Chicago covering Entrepreneurial Selling, Peter McDermott helping understand Intellectual Property and Nathan Gold offering how to give Powerful Presentations.

These videos are not only great tutorials for founders but also provide educators with another source of well produced, curated resources.

These “Startup” and “The Lean Approach” videos are a great general purpose companion to my “How to Build a Startup” lectures on Udacity.

And you get a tour of my living room and office…
