TechAlliance: Business Model & Customer Discovery
This session of Everest is a business model masterclass that will explore the struggles founders may be having with various elements of their business model & customer development. In some cases, these struggles may be impeding growth, and in other cases they may simply need closer alignment with the market so that founders can become more efficient in growing their business. As required, we will investigate elements of your current business model, and the various stages of customer development, including your value proposition.
