Generator is pleased to announce a new collaboration with the <A HREF="https://www.newcastletechtrust.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Newcastle Tech Trust</A> to deliver a series of focussed workshops, aimed at tech founders.
Newcastle Tech Trust is a group of experienced founders and operators that recognises and understands the needs of early-stage, high-growth technology companies.
Customer Development for Startups 
Every startup begins with a great idea, but how do you find out if there's a market for your business before you spend thousands developing an app that no one might actually want? 
We'll share tried and tested methods from our own companies, and the hundreds of companies we've worked with that you can use to quickly identify market opportunities and your ideal customers. 
This workshop is limited to 10 tech start-up businesses, each business can bring 3 members of staff in total.
