Dear all, Cambridge University Entrepreneurs (CUE) would like to invite you to join us for:
(1). CUE and Cambridge Consultants Bathtub to Warehouse This session was also delivered at MIT, Cambridge, USA. You will receive a free booklet containing useful notes and case studies by the end of the training. This is a product development workshop. Help you to: - take your technology or research to commercialisation - understand finance and cost calculation - how to create a winning businesses We have helped startups in many market sectors to create demonstrators and want to use this session to show how demonstrators can have a real impact for your future business. If you already have a business plan and an idea of an application that will make a real difference to a market, then this session is for you! The Bathtub to Warehouse discussion group will explore how the product development process maps very well onto the venture funding ladder for technology based startups. This is no coincidence: product development is all about achieving milestones, asking the difficult questions early on, reducing risk, building confidence, and pushing hard and fast. In other words, it is just like smart management of any business investment, and like any other investment, there are key questions you need to answer at each milestone before your investors will take the plunge.
