Your Good Idea: Getting It from an Idea to Technology to a Product

One of the hardest things to do is explain, in simply terms, your idea for your company and your product. Sometimes we hear people state the problem they are trying to solve. Sometimes we hear people talk at length about their technology. But ultimately, we need to be able to speak succinctly to the following questions: What is the product? What is it called? What problem does it solve? How does it work? What makes it unique? What does it cost? How do I purchase it? Together, we are going to work on the elements of a QUICK PITCH and refer you to other online workshops to challenge you to talk to your customers to figure out the answers to these and other questions. Join us for a 25-minute workshop and conversation followed by 30-minute mentoring sessions. Make sure to register for a session and a Zoom link will be emailed to you.
