IGNITE@RELOAD event#2: DEVELOP YOUR BUSINESS IDEA - London Business School

The Young Entrepreneurs Programme (RG YEP) is a 3-step pre-accelerator programme designed to inspire, coach and nurture aspiring young entrepreneurs across the UK.

Kick start your entrepreneurial journey by joining this 2^nd Ignite workshop. You’ll get the chance to work on your early stage idea or the problem you want to solve using the London Business School methodology. What are your assumptions about your business? Is it a good time to start now? Have you tested the idea? How robust is it? What are the tools and techniques you should use to develop your new business idea? Top tier professionals with business and academic backgrounds will guide you in order to answer these and further questions.

This is also the session where you pitch your idea in order to participate in the rest of the RG YEP journey so you must not miss it! You will have 2 min. to share it with the group and then find your team members.
