Innovate Niagara: Dream Team - December 2 and 4, 2020 (Dec-2020)

This session of Everest is a business model masterclass that will explore the struggles founders may be having with various elements of their business model & customer development. In some cases, these struggles may be impeding growth, and in other cases they may simply need closer alignment with the market so that founders can become more efficient in growing their business. As required, we will investigate elements of your current business model, and the various stages of customer development, including your value proposition.

Who should attend?

The Everest program consists of advanced working sessions where entrepreneurs have the chance to test their assumptions and hypotheses while working through problems within their startups.

• These startups not only have a prototype/ beta or minimum viable product (MVP), but also have a team, some customer validation, and some traction.
• These startups may be struggling with traction and suspect the issues may be coming from their business model or value proposition in the market.
• Only available to Regional Innovation Centre (RIC) clients. Please contact your RIC contact for more information.

Please note that to benefit from the peer-to-peer nature of these sessions, all attendees are expected to engage and remain for the full session.
