Idea Workshop: Ecosystem Mapping
Idea Workshop: Know your Market
Good ideas fail all the time. By identifying a sustainable marketplace or segment of customers, you can correctly forecast business goals and ensure there are enough people out there interested in purchasing your solution.
This workshop will give you a mix of theory and tools to question your biggest assumptions and plan your first steps as an entrepreneur. Upon completion of this workshop you will:
- Understand the types of assumptions that matter right now
- Visualise the ecosystem you're operating in
- Identify the early opportunities in your ecosystem
- Highlight who you need to engage first and why
Whether you're planning to submit an application into the I2N Accelerator or just want to build an entrepreneurial mindset, this 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.
