SUMMARY:ERC | E-Series
DESCRIPTION:Starting a business is not a single event. It is a series of decisions made at different points in a venture’s journey. Each stage presents new questions about viability\, structure\, growth\, and long-term sustainability. Many ventures struggle not from lack of effort\, but from navigating the wrong questions at the wrong time. The E-Series provides a map. \nThe 8-Class Roadmap:\nSept 15 – Class 1: Charting Your Venture – Gain clarity and establish your starting baseline. \nSept 22 – Class 2: Finding Opportunities – Uncover real market needs worth solving. \nSept 29 – Class 3: Evaluating Opportunities – Validate your concept thoroughly before investing major time or money. \nOct 6 – Class 4: Commercial Pathways – Explore startup routes\, licensing models\, and commercial partnerships. \nOct 13 – Class 5: IP Protection – Learn the essentials of intellectual property strategy. \nOct 20 – Class 6: Planning for Success – Build a clear\, actionable execution plan. \nOct 27 – Class 7: Legal + Entity Setup – Structure and protect your venture with confidence. \nNov 3 – Class 8: Funding Your Startup – Demystify capital paths\, investor expectations\, and funding options. \nWhile each class delivers immense standalone value\, participants are highly encouraged to attend all 8 sessions. Taking the full series ensures you get the complete end-to-end framework\, preventing costly blind spots as your venture grows. \nREGISTRATION IS REQUIRED
