Hands-on Business Building Series by Dirty Hands Labs
About this Event
The Hands-on Business Building Series kicks off Innovate Pasadena's Connect Week in a interactive and in-depth live case study session.
Go-To-Market Strategies for Startups (hour 1)
The program starts with a deep dive into planning and going to market, including explanations from a CEO panel on processes they followed.
Interview & Hands-On Workshop with Two New CEOs (hour 2)
Next, we’ll interview the CEOs of two early-stage startups in a workshop format to step through business problems that CEOs encounter and actionable steps to solve them.
The goal for you as the audience is to think about problem solving in a very hands-on way and to take away things they you can apply immediately to your own work.
Lunch is included.
