Created especially for UM faculty and students, this workshop is open to anyone, including persons interested in entering the UM $75K Business Plan Competition. Don't miss this informative workshop presented by Dr. Dean Chang, Director of Mtech's Venture and Entrepreneurship Education Programs.

What separates just an idea from a great venture concept? First and foremost is a good understanding of the market for that concept. In this workshop, we will give you working examples of where to find free, valuable, and essential information to validate whether there's a market for your idea and help you answer questions like:

  • How big is the market for my venture concept and what are the industry trends?
  • Who is my primary competition, what is their business model, and what is their market share?
  • What sources of market research are available to me?
