The ElevateWest Get Started Workshop, powered by CO.STARTERS, is here to help.

During the ElevateWest Get Started Workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to understand what’s driving you, to explore your idea through the CO.STARTERS Canvas, and refine your model by learning ways to get meaningful customer feedback and start pursuing your idea today. You’ll also have the opportunity to collaborate with other members of the community and make valuable connections to help you along the way.

The Get Started Workshop, designed for up to 20 participants, addresses three main needs faced by starters.
 

PART 1: Explore Your Idea

In this section, participants learn how the CO.STARTERS Canvas can help get ideas out of their heads into a format that can be refined over time. They also dive deep into understanding their customers.

PART 2: Refine Your Model

Once ideas are mapped out on the Canvas, participants learn how to use customer feedback to refine them. They also are encouraged to find ways to start small in order to get in front of customers sooner and begin testing their ideas.
 

PART 3: Define Next Steps

As the workshop concludes, participants define actionable steps that can be taken in the next hour, day, week, and month to move their ideas forward.
