What is important when considering your startup idea? What to focus on? What are the downturns and red flags? How deep do we have to go in analysis? This and many, many other questions will be addressed during our workshop.

MVP is something like a mythical creature, everybody talks about it but many aren’t sure they ever saw one with their own eyes. MVP stands for Minimum Viable Product, and its purpose is to validate that the product is on the right track to enabling business success. In the lecture, we’ll touch on four different aspects when starting a software product: basic principles and goals in the early days of the project, product discovery that focuses on WHAT to create, product delivery that focuses on HOW to create it, and measuring and reviewing the results of the MVP that may lead to a “pivot”.

The workshop and Q&A will focus on the process of getting an investment, the most important terms in the contracts, how to negotiate with investors, how collaboration with investors looks after getting an investment, and what are their expectations.

Talking to users? Sounds so simple, but it is not. In this workshop, you will get insights on how to get traction, why it’s important to detect early adopters, and how to put a strategy in motion. It is nice to have an idea, it is even better to have an MVP, but what makes you successful, is for you to have users. We will discuss real-life use cases and analyze them.
