Build a plan.
Acting on a false assumption can kill your startup. We give you the tools to test your assumptions, toss out the ones that are inaccurate, and focus on the ones that are true. You will:
- Test critical assumptions to reduce risk
- Develop criteria to define features
- Prototype solutions and get real customer feedback
Build a real company, with real value.
There are lots of moving parts in starting a business. At the completion of the Accelerator, you will have:
- Created a formal business entity
- Crafted a unique value proposition
- Defined a viable business model
- Sketched out a marketing and sales plan
“It is very overwhelming to start a new business. However, having the LaunchBox staff and advisors around to provide guidance and ask questions saved me months, if not years, of trial and error.”
