Why and How Startups Should Prototype and Demonstrate Products/Services

This offering will focus on the immediate goals of a technology-based startup: winning the next funding round and gaining initial product orders. Both can be achieved with the aid of technology and product demonstrators and prototypes. Compelling demonstrators communicate both the credibility of the technology and the immediacy and impact of the application to both potential investors and customers. They can also help answer the common difficult questions that investors want early stage technology-based companies to address at the different stages in the funding process, such as, addressing technical risk, scale up to manufacturing, user needs and wants.

A panel with a Venture Capitalist, an Entrepreneur and Product Development Experts will provide valuable insights into these issues.
