Before you start building your business you need to be sure that you will have customers and that your idea is an investible proposition. What makes a good idea and how can you evaluate your business idea prior to developing a product?

These questions and more will be discussed at this seminar and there will be time for your own questions.

Presented by Flavio Hangarter
For the past six years, Flavio has been working with top entrepreneurial minds at both the academic level and in the private market. He now helps entrepreneurs to quickly validate business ideas without huge capital outlays and prior to developing the product itself.

The ecentre presents a series of workshops on different tools for entrepreneurs wanting to start a business or founders wanting to grow an existing startup and with global ambition.

Expert speakers are chosen with knowledge and experience of the topic to provide insights and to answer questions. The purpose is to inform and support entrepreneurs, business founders and small business owners who are seeking to grow their business. Participants are encouraged to bring their own questions and challenges.

These sessions introduce participants to the support available through ecentre investor club, ecentre global business incubator partners, Massey University, ATEED, Callaghan Innovation, NZTE, local business associations and the Microsoft BizSpark Programme.
