- Interviewed at least 25 B2C customers or 10 B2B customers, and are committed to continuing to talk to customers
- Your learnings talking to customers show that this is a real problem to solve
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Our goal is to help you build the simplest form of your solution to put in front of customers, not to sell but to test. This program takes place over six weeks of two-hour live, online sessions. After talking with potential customers, you’ve discovered that people need what you’re trying to build. You’re ready to build a prototype or MVP (minimum viable product) to start testing.
OUTCOMES
- Ready to test your solution (MVP)
- Demo your solution
- Understand results from solution interviews and implement them
- Understanding design thinking
- Know when to double down or pivot your idea
- Ready for Alberta Catalyzer: Traction or Preflight: Market, Sell & Pitch
Participating in this program not only gave me mentoring, knowledge and methodology to pivot my project. It also encouraged me. It empowered me to believe in my ideas and test them. This program included one team of amazing facilitators and the possibility to work like a team with other entrepreneurs who think like you in one safe place.
The Preflight program is a game-changer for me as an entrepreneur trying to develop an MVP while managing the expectations of multiple stakeholders. With the tools and guidance provided, I was able to focus on what mattered and design a customer-centric solution.
