BUILD Accelerator Program - SUMMER 2017

What is the Build Program?

As a client of the Henry Bernick Entrepreneurship Centre, we are very excited to have you take part in the BUILD Agile Planning Series.

This intensive 6 week program favours exploration over elaborate planning, customer feedback over intuition and iterative processes over traditional structured business planning. You will learn about how to create an agile business through lean startup tools and methodologies.

The program is perfect for entrepreneurs starting a new business or considering pivoting an existing business.
