GAME: FIND YOUR CUSTOMER PROBLEM

DO YOU have a potentially repeatable, scalable startup(idea)? And would you like to discover who your customer is, or if the customer problem is big enough to solve? Then the ‘Game’ module of the Startup Readiness Program is the right choice for you!

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
During 5 sessions (1 session per week), you will learn to conduct customer conversations to achieve deep customer insight. The program is a fast-paced mix of theory, practical assignments and individual coaching. The program is provided by experts in the Brabant startup ecosystem.

By joining this second part of the Startup Readiness Program, you will get a clearer picture about the first customer segment you should want to focus on. Continuous validation is central to this. Besides, you will gain access to a vast startup ecosystem and a network of like-minded entrepreneurs.
