Event Details

ThousandSeeds 'Lean Startup Initiative' continue with Brant Cooper, author of 'The Entrepreneurs' Guide To Customer Development'.

Brant will run two half-day workshops on 'Customer Development - Getting out of the Building'.

Tuesday, May 01, 2012, 8.30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Wednesday, May 02, 2012, 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The size of each workshop is limited to a maximum of 50 participants.

While much has been written about Customer Development, in practice -- it’s hard! 

This workshop will be very interactive which is a systematic approach to develop products that solve customers problems. This gives your company a competitive edge to get your product to market more successfully. After reviewing Customer Development and Lean principles you will then start validating the right market for your ideas. You will apply these principles in your proposed business model, document assumptions and identify and prioritize your risks. Finally you will learn how to go about testing these scenarios in your business model.

Teams are welcome! You are encouraged to bring questions and issues from your business or startup idea.

What you will learn:

  • Learn how to Get Started
  • The difference between listening to customers and doing what they say
  • How Customer Development fits into the Build -> Measure -> Learn framework
  • The Stages of Customer Development
  • When NOT to do Customer Development

What you will also get:

  • A PDF copy of Brant's book, The Entrepreneurs' Guide To Customer Development
  • A PDF copy of Brant's new book once it ships

What you won't get:

  • A paint by numbers approach for instant success
  • A 400 page workbook
  • Time wasted listening to pie-in-the-sky theories of entrepreneurial success
