The problem with us entrepreneurs is that we're almost all Type A. We tend to think we know it all and won't make the same mistakes that others do. But more often than not, many of us fall into this exact trap and end up making some common rookie mistakes. Join us to learn about what to avoid and how to do it better. We'll also talk about understanding Lean Methodology and how we can use Customer Discovery to validate our ideas & assumptions.

You will learn about:

• When and how to appropriately share your idea.
• How to gauge if customers are really willing to buy your solution.
• When and how to start raising money from investors.

Join this workshop if:

• You are thinking about starting a business.
• You’ve already started a business.
• You are thinking about joining a startup.
