By designing and delivering startup workshops, I hope to accomplish several things: 1) share what I learned as a startup Founder and CEO ; 2) develop an integrated series of workshops that might be one day be published; and 3) socialize my plans for launching my next startup. Here is my initial list of workshop topics, to be continually refined and expanded:
- Determining a Unique Value Proposition
- Sizing the Market Opportunity
- Valuing all Human Capital
- Evaluating a Prospective Co-founder
- Creating a Milestone-Based Plan
- Avoiding Hangups Over Valuation
- Preparing to Pitch Investors
- Selecting The Best Investors
- Considering Capital Raising Options
- Executing the Three “M’s” Post-Funding
