HUSTLE PHX 101
Business Development Program
Hustle PHX 101 is a 12-week business development program which helps aspiring entrepreneurs put ideas into action and turn a passion into a sustainable and thriving business.
Facilitators help entrepreneurs to identify their assumptions about why and how their businesses will work and then talk to customers in order to validate their ideas. This approach enables them to rapidly uncover flaws in their concept and find viable models more quickly. They’ll leave the program with a deeper understanding of how to create a sustainable business, and articulate their model.
Participants will finalize the program with a Pitch Celebration! They will pitch their businesses and showcase their product or service to friends, family and community supporters. This event is open to the public. Join us in the celebration!
