Double workshop on business model innovation & content marketing 
// FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Philipp Moehring, Seedcamp
Salim Virani, Leancamp
Rob Fitzpatrick, The Startup Toolkit

Thursday, January 5th from 6:00 - 8:30 pm


Product ideas are a dime a dozen. The real challenge is discovering and developing the rest of a business model. That's what delivers your product's value into the hands of eager customers. And once you've got an idea for the engine, how does a brand new tech company go about getting customers in the digital door?

This fun, fast-paced, double workshop answers both these questions by introducing two of the most crucial skills for any fledgling founder: content marketing and business model innovation.

For content marketing, we'll answer some practical questions, including:

  • Why you should bother (at least 3 reasons)
  • How to set up a simply daily process which makes you immune to blogger's block
  • What you're trying to achieve and how to get there
  • Coming up with 2 month's worth of solid content in 20 minutes
We'll then dive into business model innovation. This is a fun workshop which will stretch the way you think about doing business with:
  • A quick, practical introduction to using Osterwalder's business model canvas
  • How to document & pitch how a business works, in 60 seconds
  • How to spot weaknesses & open questions in your own business
  • Escaping the fatal "one perfect idea" syndrome

This is going to be a fun event and I'm excited to be putting it together for you.

Due to last minute notice, the price is free and we'll have a smaller group than in future events, meaning more personal attention.

I hope you'll join us!
