Fueling Startup Growth: Getting it Right the First Time

The world is more competitive than ever, and while ideas are easy, taking something beyond idea to real growth can be much harder. In this training, we will equip you to use data to help you make decisions, and orient yourself for growth. Session 1: What do you need to understand to figure out where your business fits in the grand scheme? What actually matters for your technology startup? Session 2: Once you’ve started to understand your place in the world, how do you gather information successfully, from primary and secondary sources? Session 3: Once you have data inputs, how do you make sense of it? What are your next steps? The course will be facilitated by Dr. Jonathan Calof, an expert who has helped thousands of companies with their growth. All of the content will build on the previous day, so make sure you join us for all of it. Due to interactive nature of the training, this will be offered only as live training. Training will run from 9am Atlantic Standard Time - 1130am Atlantic Standard Time each of the three days. This training is supported by ACOA and is free of charge for Atlantic Canadian Startups.
