Ready, Set, Validate!

This FREE online course is designed for pre-launch entrepreneurs who want to evaluate their business idea before investing significant time or money. Many entrepreneurs ask, “Is this a good idea?,” but there’s so much more to a businesses long-term success and sustainability than just whether a business concept is a good idea. You’ll leave this session with a clear framework for identifying your business’ strengths, uncovering risks, and deciding how to move forward.

This is an autonomous, self-paced online session. You can pause the session, return when you’re able, and submit questions online. You must have access to a computer to complete this course.


Objectives

  • Receive tools on how to evaluate and improve business ideas.
  • Understand whether your business concept is market ready.
  • Understand whether your business concept is a business, hobby, or nonprofit.

You can register for Ready, Set, Validate! through our online learning management system below. Note that you will need to add the course to your cart and log in (if you already have an Absorb account) or create an account to checkout and access the course.
