Thinking of starting something on your own after several years of professional experience? Already started your enterprise and looking for ways to give it a more streamlined shape? JumpStart your Enterprise – a workshop for experienced professionals and starting entrepreneurs is your ideal launch pad. The workshop will provide with a practical toolkit to start and grow business in these early days. We address the real issues that bother entrepreneurs:

  • How do I write a Business Plan?
  • How can I get support from the ecosystem: incubators and mentors?
  • How do I work with partners?
  • How do I work on a shoestring marketing budget?

You will get to hear from key people who matter to you: angels, VCs and other experienced entrepreneurs. Most importantly this is a workshop and is meant for discussion and debate. The format is therefore designed to address questions with practical advice and suggestions. This year there will be a special effort to explore how profitable businesses can be developed targeting the “next 800 million”. You will get to learn from entrepreneurs in this space and see how interesting and enriching business models can be developed for this segment. Join JumpStart at TiE ISB to start an exciting entrepreneurial journey on a sound footing!
