About this Event
About the Workshop
Having a great business idea is only the beginning.
Before launching — or while building — a business, entrepreneurs need to understand who they are serving, how they will communicate their value, how they will build meaningful connections and what it takes to create a realistic pathway to customers and revenue.
In this practical workshop, Kazir Coulibaly, Global Partnerships & Economic Development Strategist with NEXTVIA INC., will explore some of the important building blocks that can help entrepreneurs move from an idea toward a more confident and sustainable business.
The goal is simple: to help entrepreneurs launch with greater confidence — not only with a business idea, but with a market, meaningful connections and a realistic pathway to revenue.
Participants will explore how to validate their business ideas, communicate their value and create a pathway to customers and contracts before launching.
Whether you are just starting to explore an idea or are already building your business, this session is designed to help you think more intentionally about the foundation you're creating.
