WorldStartup’s Market Readiness Training is the ideal opportunity to get your business ready to enter the market, whether for validating, piloting, or launching customers.

The three-and-a-half-month expert-led program is designed to equip you with the skills and insights to engage in meaningful interaction with your potential customers. Together with the trainers and other founders, you will work on applying the knowledge and insights to your own business in a practical, hands-on way.

Is this for me?

Are you willing to get ready to enter the market for validation, piloting, launching customers, or sales? Would you like to dive deeper into the processes of understanding the needs and wants of your clients? Do you want to strengthen your communications and strategic skill sets so that you get your desired outcomes? Then the Market Readiness Training is for you!

Upon applying, you will receive an MRTraining scan questionnaire that will evaluate your level and indicate if there is a need for any additional preparation on your end.

• Sessions and activities spread out over a three-and-a-half-month period of training guided by business, marketing and communication experts
• The opportunity to connect with other founders and learn from your peers
• The opportunity to tap into a relevant innovation hub network
• A deliverables-focused approach, in which the ratio between the information received and putting it into practice would be 1 to 3
• By the end of the training, you will have explored and completed all the necessary steps for a successful market entry
• By the end of the training, you will have a solid and attractive story to share and grow your business
