Hatch Hackathon
Event Information
About this event
During the Hackathon, you'll get to be part of a small group of like-minded entrepreneurs to share your ideas in a safe and encouraging space. Using the Lean Business Model Canvas, you'll get to work through all the key components of your business, and practice communicating your idea in your elevator pitch.
This event is now being run on Saturday 14th May 10am-2pm only.
What does the session look like?
- Meeting the other entrepreneurs in the room
- Introduction to the Lean Business Model Canvas
- Who are your potential customers? How does your business solve their problems?
- What makes your business stand out? How will you market your product or service?
- How will you make money? What will your costs be?
- Pitching your ideas back to the group
You'll leave the session with a new community of entrepreneurs, tools and resources to help you map out your journey, and clarity on how to move your idea forward.
