The Class:

Content:
Identifying the ‘Value Proposition’ that our customers are looking for and ensuring product-market fit is a crucial stage of the customer development process. Commercializing an idea requires a clear value statement that reflects market needs, differentiates from competition and helps customers decide. In this session we will be analyzing the value proposition canvas as a tool that helps early stage entrepreneurs address this challenge and link it to their overall business model. The process flows from an initial conceptual solution-market fit to a validated product-market fit.
The session will also address customer discovery tools and mechanisms that help entrepreneurs understand what their potential customers need. Finally, the session will touch upon how we can best communicate this value to our customers.
