UC Davis Big Bang! workshops help aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs launch their journey. Start with an idea—end with a business.
Define and Validate Your Business Model
With Tim Keller, winner of the 2008 Big Bang! | Founder and Executive Director, Inventopia
A new venture’s business model defines how it brings together available technology, market and business opportunities, as well as how it plans to make money (and how much).
Prior to the workshop
Note: We are offering this workshop on Zoom. Your registration confirmation email will include the link to attend as well as a link to watch the pre-workshop video.
Innovate online
We will start with a brief review of the information covered in the pre-workshop video. Most of our time will be devoted to hands-on, small group activities in breakout rooms to help you start to define and validate your business model.
Zoom in ready to engage and grow through discussions, collaborative activities, and the energy and experience of meeting fellow innovators from across the UC Davis campus and throughout California.
