Roadmap to success

Roadmap to success

This workshop arose out of a series of frequently asked questions:
What is involved in a startup?
What are the things I need to think about / learn to be successful?
Is my [idea / project / opportunity ] fundable?
How do I pitch it to raise money?
And many more questions and frequently questioned answers!
⁠
⁠
⁠
In this workshop we share a roadmap of what is needed to build a startup, milestones along the way, and how to pull that pitch together to get the venture attention and funding your idea deserves. After the workshop you should have a better understanding of:
The holistic checklist to think through your venture in a business like plan.
What matters to a VC/Investor.
How to think about your roadmap from startup to public company
Joining the workshop is Paula Long, CEO of Data Gravity, to share her insights.
