QREC FUNK! Start You Up! [Intro] Kyushu! Entrepreneurs! Researchers! Students teaching the professors! Are you ready? QREC FUNK! [Verse 1] Got an idea? Bring it on down, See a big problem? Turn it around. Ask good questions, test what you know, Try it, break it, learn it, go! Students teaching, students lead, Plant that wild startup seed. No permission? Well, darn— Entrepreneurs are born to learn! [Pre-Chorus] Got an idea? Start it up! See opportunity? Start it up! Got assumptions? Test ’em out! Someone says impossible? Prove ’em wrong! [Chorus] QREC FUNK gonna start you up! QREC FUNK gonna start you up! QREC FUNK gonna start you up! Don’t believe me? Test it! Think you know? Test it! Got some data? Test it! QREC FUNK gonna start you up! [Post-Chorus] Test it! Theory! Test it! Your favorite hypothesis? Especially test it! [Verse 2] Death by slides? No, no, no. Learn entrepreneurship by giving it a go. Build something small, get outside, Talk to customers, swallow your pride. Project-based learning, experiment fast, Reflection makes the learning last. Students don’t just sit and hear, Students build the learning here! [Breakdown] Business plan? Maybe! Business model? Better! Real customer? Yes! Paying customer? Even better! Professor says, “Trust me”? Show the data! Student says, “I tried it”? Now we’re talking! [Blues Bridge] Well, my startup failed on Monday, And my hypothesis died Tuesday night. Reviewer number two said, “Your theory needs a little more light.” But Wednesday brought new data, Thursday brought a better clue. By Friday we had pivoted— That’s what entrepreneurs do! [Final Chorus] QREC FUNK gonna start you up! QREC FUNK gonna start you up! QREC FUNK gonna start you up! Think it! Start it! Test it! Start it! Teach it! Start it! Build it! Start it! Fail it! Learn from it! Try again! That’s the spirit! Q! R! E! C! Start! You! Up! Q! R! E! C! Start! You! Up! [Big Finish] Ideas are easy! Action is hard! Learning is good! Doing is better! And if entrepreneurship education doesn’t change what people actually do— Test it again! QREC FUNK! Start! You! Up! Hey!
