DON'T WAIT | ONLY A HANDFUL OF DISCOUNTED EARLY BIRD SEATS LEFT! It's not a virtual event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a meeting, or a symposium. It's not about attracting a big crowd.

Steve Jobs tried to kill the unproductive meeting by kicking out the least important person from the room. For leaders who want to be well-liked, the design team at Google Ventures has another approach to keep meetings on track: keep a timer on the table.

The Internet giant’s VC arm puts all the startups it funds, which includes Blue Bottle Coffee, About.me, and AngelList, through a five-day bootcamp it calls a “design sprint.” To jam a lot of problem-solving into a workweek, Jake Knapp, a design partner at Google Ventures (GOOG), began using an ordinary timer to impose 20- to 30-minute limits on the various exercises.
