Validate your business idea and set up your business for success
Do you have a great business idea? Or a business that's less than a year old?
Have you been thinking about your business idea for some time now, but can't decide what to do next?
After all, there are countless options:
-
Should I dive right in or set up a website first?
-
How much should I charge and how should people pay me?
-
Do I need business insurance?
-
How do I market my stuff?
-
How do I even know if my idea is a good one?
The 2-day EXPLORE Bootcamp will give you answers to your questions from experts and from your peers.
