OVERVIEW
A half day workshop that gives attendees a simple playbook of how to be successfully innovative, how not to fail when launching a new startup or product, and how that results in faster growth and easier sales!
Given the very high failure rates of startups and new products, the best way of minimising that risk is to understand:
- The top reasons for failure, and how to avoid them
- Why your business isn’t growing fast enough, or not at all
- The cognitive biases that make all of us susceptible to failure
- The tools that help you understand the risks and how to avoid them
- How to speak to potential customers so that you *really* understand their pains
- How to ensure that you’re solving a problem that customers will pay for!
Many years of experience (including lots of failure!), and everything I have learned from mentoring hundreds of startups, have gone into making this workshop the most useful, value-packed, half-day possible.
RESULTS
- As well as leaving with the above insights, you’ll leave with:
- Multiple clear validation tools and techniques
- A clear 6-step process that will *massively* reduce your likelihood of failure.
- A clear path to your first ten customers.
- Faster growth and easier sales
You’ll also have a MUCH clearer understanding of how to build a business or product that is many times more likely to succeed than average. Not only in terms of gaining early customers, but raising investment, and being likely to go on to scale.
