Developing an Idea

An idea is not a business. We'll talk about how to get through the early steps by building a team that can move from the idea stage through customer discovery to an MVP. Developing an idea takes more than technical talent but many non-technical people struggle to engage the development community correctly and we'll address how you can avoid common pit falls and how to make yourselves valuable.
