Seminar for B2B Seed and Series A companies -This is a real 2-hour class (not a fireside chat) that summarizes decades of experience helping management teams in one of the most critical phases of a startup life: market entry. It provides detailed suggestions and hands-on exercises to focus your market entry, build your sales strategy and develop a plan for success. The current COVID19 crisis only reinforces the need to execute this step perfectly as customers attention is less on innovation and capital for the next round will be harder to get. This class is ideal for B2B companies that have at least received seed funding and are starting to enter their market.
