SUMMARY:She Own's It Seminar #1: Lean Start-Up
DESCRIPTION:The #SheOwnsIt Seminar Series convenes women entrepreneurs and leaders to build a stronger community of support and enhance the entrepreneurship ecosystem in Lancaster. The seminar series will feature time for networking with peers\, thought-provoking breakout sessions\, light refreshments\, and lectures from experts in the community. \nExpert speaker: Melisa Baez-Snyder\, ASSETS’ Director of Entrepreneur Training \nWomen Owned Business speaker: Laurie Myers\, Owner of Cafe301 \nSeminar #1 Description: The traditional method of starting a business requires entrepreneurs to build a comprehensive business plan and launch their products or services without being certain of whether the idea will be successful. In contrast\, the lean start-up model enables entrepreneurs to strategize a minimum viable product around the needs and desires of their customers and more easily adapt to changes as they grow their business. In this session\, we will equip you with a new framework for learning directly from customers and rapidly testing and iterating your ideas with the end goal of developing a streamlined business plan. You will also learn how to incorporate impact- social or environmental- from the idea phase of your lean start-up model. \nCost: $25 per seminar or $100 for all five seminars  \nTickets here \nReasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities will be made if requested at least two weeks in advance.
