Up coming Events
Don’t let your startup fail, create a solid value proposition
42% of all startups fail because there is no market need. How come that so many founders end up building something that no one needs?
We have invited Remy Ferber from Ericsson ONE to talk about the fundamentals of a value proposition and its importance to succeed as a startup. During the session she will therefore go into what a value proposition is, how you can work with it and why it makes such a difference to the product that you are building.
The presentation will be followed by an interactive part where you will collaborate in a rapid-fire exercise to put theory into action.
