Build a Viable Business with NextFab’s Artisan Accelerator Info Session: February

The NextFab makerspace has historically been the place where makers and creatives can build tangible products, providing the physical resources and tools to go from making to selling. Now, we’re going a step further with our NextFab Artisan Accelerator, an 8-week experience that gives entrepreneurs the essential tools, support, and structure to focus on the things that matter to build viable businesses. This program is designed specifically to help artisan entrepreneurs craft profitable business models, reach new customers, and build sustainable companies in an accelerated pace. Topics covered in this program include online marketing, social media, operations, strategic planning, business model innovation, financing, and more.

In this info session, we’ll be chatting with the Artisan Accelerator organizer, Todor Raykov, NextFab’s Director of Venture Services. He’s going to review what the Artisan Accelerator program is, what he looks for in applicants, and answer any questions you have.

In this webinar we’ll cover:

• What is an Artisan Accelerator
• What we’re looking for in our applicants
• At a high level, what pieces are needed for a viable business

By the end of this webinar you’ll know:

• What you need to have a successful small business
