Value Jam | Collaborate and Progress Your Business Ideas
Mar 22 @ 12:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Hatchworks

You will walk away with more clarity on the highest value of your business or idea, and how to communicate it.

This is an event for people in idea stages:

You have some business or startup ideas to work through, or you are in the early stages of your existing business, or maybe you are adding a new aspect or direction to your business.
It’s also great for people who just want to learn by helping others through those stages.

This event pairs perfectly with Hatch This, the weekend after. You’ll be able to get clear on your startup idea, and build confidence before Hatch This!

This is a collaborative learning event. You will work with just a few other people, presenting your ideas for feedback, and providing feedback for others. You will be guided by one of the mentors (listed below), who will provide a unique approach to dig deep and really define the how, what, and why behind your business or idea.
