During this workshop you get structure and a mindset that will help you explore whether there’s a real need for the service or product you plan to develop. We help you organize your idea in a way that provides you with a good overview - so you know which aspects you need to work on next.
If you are interested in possibly joining forces with someone else, this workshop is a great opportunity to meet new innovators and gain an understanding of what it means to run and work in a startup.
You’ll get:
- Business Templates - Access and a walkthrough to your own business template.
- A Startup Mindset - An understanding of the basics of validation, in other words, gathering information that can help you better understand the potential of an new idea.
- Actionable next steps - Leave with concrete steps to continue the process.
You will also receive a crash course in lean startup and design thinking, approaches we use that will help you in your ongoing idea development.
