What is the Validation Sprint?

Fancy the idea of validating your business idea or new product in 1 day?

It literally is a sprint. During one participants will literally experience  a business validation bootcamp. It is a gamified approach to ideation utilising the globally known Lean Canvas with a few Bizezi tweaks to create a Lean Canvas Plus. Importantly the process educates on business while the app collects data throughout the game. The Validation Sprint utilises the unique New Zealand born app (bizezi) to collect data and help to identify the pro's and con's of your business concept.

What does it do?

The Validation Sprint gameifies the very start of business planning process, breaking the business concept down into manageable parts. Through the workshop you will use our Bizezi app to simplify and easily give clarity to the validity of the business idea or new product idea.

What's Included?

Business is a jigsaw and none more so than the art of validation. It contains so many business elements, that once pieced together, gives clarity on wether the idea has potential or... not! The day will also produce a report incuding your conclusions. This clarity will not only support the small business owner, it provides strong arguments for potential business partners and funding partners as examples. It provides a complete picture of what you're about and how everything fits together.
