Thousands of university students have brilliant startup ideas, but they're stumped by one question: "What do I do next?". The gap between having an idea and knowing your next concrete steps is where most student startups die. In this 2-hour workshop we will explore the following questions:

  • How to know your idea will work before investing time and money
  • Will people want my product or service?
  • What do I have to offer and who are my customers?
  • How do I fund my start-up?
  • When do I make it official and register a company?
  • What legal stuff am I missing?

By the end of the 2 hours, you will have created a Personal Action Plan, covering the next steps for YOUR specific idea or business.
