We’re partnering with VESTD, an equity management company, to bring you a valuable workshop.

Ready to start launch your company? Need some insights on how build a successful team? Building a great team is a cornerstone of startup success, and equity plays a central role in achieving this goal. By the end of this workshop, you'll have a solid grasp of everything you need to start your company on a great foundation.

David will focus on the importance of validating a startup idea and how/when to start the validation process. 

It is critical to validate BEFORE you fall in love with your idea / startup. Not only to avoid creating something that nobody wants or needs, but validation actually can help you adapt your initial idea to becoming something much more successful because of the process of validation.

Validation reduces risks early on in the process. Which is not only good for you but also provides any early investors with reassurance.

Validation also creates a culture of testing and iterating. Rather than building and hoping.
