SVASE and RoseRyan present the East Bay Series "Real-life Stories of Entrepreneurial Success"

Overcoming the Early Sales Challenge ? the First $10M

The go-to-market stage is the period of greatest risk for start-ups today. Technology development is no longer where the uncertainty lies. Rather, ?de-coding? how to sell and market is the key challenge. 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 ? quickly. Done right and well, the company will be successful. Learn how to survive and thrive in this perilous period from those who have succeeded and those who have benefited from that success.
