Talking to people about your idea and getting initial feedback is the first step on the journey of taking your idea and turning it into a sustainable business. Applying to the Proof Programme is the first step.
You get 3 months to test your hypotheses, by developing proto/pretotypes and approaching potential customers to learn about their problems and if your product/service can fulfill their needs.
If you have proven your concept, maybe also by seeing traction from first customers, we offer another 6 months stay at CSE where you can build your concept into a viable and sustainable business.
Not ready to apply for the full Proof Programme just yet? Stop by CSE for Open Wednesday, every Wednesday between 14-16h. to get feedback on your ideas and learn about your next step.
No need to book an appointment - just show up at CSE on the 2nd floor, and we will be there to let you present your ideas and give you feedback on what your next steps could be.
