Are you exploring a startup or freelance idea? Whether you're just getting started or looking to take your concept to the next level, this workshop is for you.
In this session, you’ll be guided through the Business Model Canvas – a powerful visual tool that helps you understand and develop the key components of your business idea. You’ll explore:
- Who your customers are
- What value you offer them
- How you deliver that value
- How your business will generate revenue
You’ll leave the workshop with a clearer vision, valuable insights, and a structured approach to planning your venture. Plus, you'll be better equipped to complete a full business plan and even prepare for Stage 2 of the Venture Competition 2026.
📌 Open to all Brunel University students and recent graduates
💡 No fully developed idea required – come as you are, at any stage of your entrepreneurial or freelance journey!
📍This workshop will be running in person at Brunel university London @ ROOM TBC
