How To Get Your Venture Started

Have an idea for a venture, but not quite sure where to start?

Have an idea for a venture, but not quite sure where to start? This workshop with Phil Green, the i-lab's senior advisor for B2B and technology, provides an easy six-step guide to getting your venture off the ground. We’ll explore how to refine your idea, conduct initial customer discovery, build an MVP, and more!

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

As senior advisor for B2B and technology, Phil Green’s mentoring is focused on B2B, as well as teams where engineering/product development choices are critical to the venture. Phil brings 30 years of experience in building products, services, teams, and companies. As a former CTO, he has built web-based enterprise applications, as well as consumer mobile apps for iOS and Android. As a former CEO, he built a customer base of 5,000 organizations, in 50 countries, serving over one million users. This B2B venture used a direct sales channel to penetrate F1000 accounts such as Bank of America, NASA, Owens Corning, Pfizer, and Kraft Foods, and used an indirect partner channel to penetrate international markets as well as small to midsize U.S. businesses. As a COO, he has improved operations and profitability, and has led the company’s push to establish an inbound marketing strategy focused on generating B2B leads.
