This two-part workshop series is designed to offer early-stage business founders a game plan for saving time, money, and creative energy by evaluating their business landscape and gathering critical insight from their future customers. Part 1 focuses on identifying stakeholders, determining research needs, and developing your value proposition, while part 2 prepares you to begin (or continue!) gathering stakeholder feedback and conducting other market research.

This workshop will help you:

  • Draft/refine a value proposition statement for buyers, end-users, or any other major stakeholder your offering serves
  • Identify the 3-5 riskiest core assumptions for your business in order to focus your market validation efforts
  • Create a plan and a timeline to validate the riskiest assumptions that you have identified for your business
  • Determine market research topics related to your industry that will help you identify market opportunity, segmentation, etc.
  • Save time, money and creative energy as a busy business founder

The Market Validation Workshop Series is ideal for founders across all industries in the business ideation stage, or for founders with existing businesses that need to reassess their value proposition. It is recommended that those interested in this workshop schedule a free meeting with a JumpStart advisor before applying to ensure the program is currently a good fit for their business. As this workshop series occurs about once per month, applications are always open and are accepted on a rolling basis.
