Idea Workshop: Business Experiments

This event was held on Thursday 21 March 2024

Good ideas fail all the time. By effectively explaining the traction achieved to-date, you will be able to attract more customers, employ talented people and raise money from investors.

When starting a new business that first big step can be shrouded in uncertainty and be difficult to articulate. This workshop will give you the exploratory tools and processes any early-stage founder needs as well as the ability to:

  • Identify the most valuable first step and how to plan it
  • Define your early-adopters for testing your product or service
  • Communicate your needs and your wins to the stakeholders who can help you grow
  • The types of experiments you can conduct to test your critical assumptions

Whether you're planning to submit an application into the I2N Accelerator or just want to build an entrepreneurial mindset, this Idea Workshop will demystify your assumptions and support you to understand the world from your potential customers point-of-view.

Event is free but registration is essential.
