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.
