Agenda
Optional: If you're not running this as a solo session then have a look at Team Up! and Setting the Stage. Once you’ve selected your team, make sure you kick off the workshop by thanking participants for joining (especially if they’re joining from outside your own team) and explaining what you hope to get out of the session.
If you're ready to splurge, invite a person with experience from the start-up environment to open the session with an inspiring talk.
Step 1: You’ve come up with a concept you believe in, but your pitch isn’t perfect yet. A great way to test how relevant your product, service or invention may be, is to Explain it to Grandma. Literally call an old and wise person you know, and see if they get as excited as about your idea as you.
