Achieving user traction
Eventinformationen
Beschreibung
Stop the guesswork. Start identifying the best user. Join us for a day-long, hands-on exposition of the essential tools for identifying your early adopters and a scalable user community.
Who is the workshop for? If you are committed to striking out on your own, co-founding, joining a startup very early, or developing a new product, then this workshop is for you. If you have startup and/or product development experience that is great, but it is not required.
What do you need to bring? Your smartphone (tablet), favorite pens, and a good description what problem you are working on for whom (e.g. statement, website, canvas).
How do we proceed? We offer a fast-paced, hands-on, and personalized workshop that sets you up for your venture and/or product development.
