East Bay Series Real-life Stories of Entrepreneurial Success"

Overcoming the Early Sales Challenge – the First $10 Million

The go-to-market stage is the period of greatest risk for start-ups. Once product risk has been addressed, “de coding” how to sell and market is essential. Most start-ups end up selling to a different buyer and market than they originally envisioned, often for a different application and price and with a different set of critical product capabilities. The challenge is to quickly identify who the actual buyer is and adjust the product accordingly. Learn how to survive and thrive in this perilous period from those who have succeeded and from those who have benefited from that success.
