MenuIdeation to Startup
Created 11 years ago
Having been a Startup Mentor and worked with successful startups before I'm keen to share that knowledge and help you move from an idea to a startup.
The best way to develop the viability of a startup or idea is to use the Business Model Canvas.
Using this framework I can rapidly work with you towards homing in on the strengths and weaknesses of your idea and helping you to focus on the real areas value generation moving forwards.

He was steering the Programme in the direction that seemed to be the best option for everyone, all round. He negotiates well and is clear and concise. These qualities/skills were invaluable when the company needed guidance and advice in an area of intranet/access to information that was new to senior people and staff.
