Course Overview
Launching new ventures or products without validation often leads to failure. Lean startup methodologies and market validation frameworks provide structured approaches to test assumptions, engage customers early, and refine business models for real-world success.
This course covers customer discovery, MVP design, hypothesis testing, pivot strategies, and agile scaling methods. Participants will learn how to validate demand, minimize resource waste, and accelerate innovation.
At EuroQuest International Training, the program blends entrepreneurial tools, case studies, and practical workshops to prepare participants for building validated, market-driven businesses.
