WEDC - Westchester

This bootcamp will help you identify, validate, and connect with your target customers, to help you create solutions your customers actually CARE about. Applying these skills will provide you with information to test your business ideas, to make adjustments early in the process, to reduce the risk of spending time and money on an idea that might have been doomed from the start. In simple terms, applying these skills when your starting your business as well as when you’re running a growing or mature business, will eliminate or significantly reduce the role of “luck” in your business planning. A customer who cares about your business is a customer who tell friends and family about your business, who will more likely be loyal to your business and who will be invested in the success and growth of your business.
