Join us for our last workshop of the semester! John Schveibinz will be teaching you valuable lessons regarding what to focus on during the first three months after launching your business. Learn the important steps necessary to get off to a good start before venturing too far into your journey. April 3rd from 12 - 1pm, University Center 115.

The first three months of any business is exciting, but there are some important steps to take before venturing too far in the startup journey. Based on validated references and personal experience of the speaker, this workshop will cover some basic steps:

1) How to come up with valuable startup ideas for products and services

2) How to identify the core of the important problem the startup will

address

3) How to write and use a user story to refine the problem-idea and make

a unique connection with the users (the customers)

4) How to measure the wants, needs and concerns of the potential users

and business partners when introducing them to the startup idea

These four steps, in addition to some straightforward administrative concerns, are a good basic plan for most new startup businesses.
