Why you should take this workshop
Unsure where to start on creating and formalizing your business plan? A good business plan guides you through each stage of starting and managing your business. You'll use your business plan as a roadmap for how to structure, run, and grow your new business. But, you don’t need to write a 10 page document with MBA-level detail in order to start building your business. In this workshop with IFundWomen Product Manager, Maya Brooks, you’ll use the IFundWomen Startup Canvas to help you conceptualize, formalize, and organize your business plan. We’ll brainstorm together on your business model, your target customers, your marketing strategy, and your value proposition.
