The document discusses the Engage to Launch workshop, which was developed to help stalled startups and ventures within large companies restart growth. The workshop focuses on engaging with customers early to validate business models through customer feedback and testing ideas. Participants work through frameworks to define problems, generate solutions, and refine business models based on customer input. They arrange meetings to get feedback, solicit input to improve their ideas, and recruit early customers. The goal is to help companies fail fast through customer validation so they can pivot quickly rather than clinging to ideas that don't work.

Seven Triggers To Breakthrough CompaniesJustin Beck
Any Company Can Launch a Startup. Startups think big and move fast. Your company can be any size and still think like a startup. Consistent breakthroughs are not accidents. Just look at Apple and Google. They are a part of the strategy, part of the process and certainly part of the culture of companies that continually achieve them. The Seven Triggers to Breakthrough Companies is your playbook to launch a startup culture inside your company.
This presentation outlines the opportunity with the Agile Advisory Board (at the seed- and early-stage). Overall, we find that the traditional boards at the seed and early-stage are often counter-productive.
The webinar intends to provide some tips to help start-ups involved in Big Data and data-driven economy to successfully face the investment phase and to maximize their chances to get external funding for their future endeavor.
