INTRO
For 50 years we have been told the wrong approach on how to start a business. Long business plans, endless market researches and imaginary financial forecasts have done nothing but waste the resources of young entrepreneurs, who have often neglected the study of the most important aspect: the understanding of Who the customer is and the co-creation of a solution that effectively responds to his needs and challenges.
Cook Your Start-up is a half-day training on “Collaborative Lean”: an approach which merges business’ best practices with today's trends rooted on open collaboration, to a create smarter and more sustainable businesses. The aim is to combine theory (by giving a complete overview of lean and open collaboration) with practice (by helping the entrepreneurs creating a clear strategy to get their project to the next level).
The end result is a dynamic crowdsourcing session to structure business ideas and validate key assumptions through open feedback; there will be a catering, entrepreneurs with original ideas and mentors willing to help the initiatives getting to the next level. You will leave this workshop with a good understanding of the Collaborative Lean philosophy, a complete business plan and your schedule of short-term actions to validate your ideas.

TARGET AUDIENCE
The event is open to anyone interested in business creation: from students eager to understand the Lean Start Up approach to young entrepreneurs in the initial phase of their start-ups, as well as experienced entrepreneurs willing to question their own business model. Regardless of the stage where you are with your project, there are always assumptions to be tested.
