water

A program designed for someone wanting to learn the first steps involved in turning their ideas into a meaningful venture. The purpose of this program is to help you get your idea to prototype to enable you to test the viability of your idea by:



Framing your idea and testing if the idea is even a business opportunity





Taking the idea forward, identifying the customer, developing a viable business model, value proposition and more



Building a workable prototype or a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for your venture which you can then use to test all your assumptions



Finally learn the art of pitching your venture to various stakeholders and audiences

THE RAFT! ANALOGY

It is a basic floating structure used for crossing body of water. The raft resembles the Minimum Viable Product(MVP); which is a basic product/prototype that enables the entrepreneur to test all their hypothesis and learn fast about their customers and also to fail fast.

RAFT! is designed for you to learn rapidly to build the basic MVP to ensure customer validation!
