🔎 A great business idea is only the beginning. Do you know the market behind it?

Who are your customers? What do they actually need? Who else is competing for their attention—and where does your business fit?

Leading Edge for Startups helps aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs move beyond assumptions and start making informed decisions about the businesses they’re building.

During this six-week program, you’ll dig into your industry, target market and competition, while also working through the other pieces that turn an idea into an actionable business plan—from operations and marketing to sales and financial forecasting.

And you won't be doing it alone. You'll work alongside other entrepreneurs, use LivePlan to actively develop your business, and have access to no-cost 1:1 advising through the Pikes Peak SBDC.

đź“… Leading Edge for Startups begins Thursday, September 24.

Know your market. Understand your competition. Build smarter.
