Get clarity in building your MVP with Roadmap to MVP

Data shows that women and women led technology companies may take longer to develop their minimum viable product (MVP) because they lack the technical skills required within their founding team. This can cause the companies to stall longer than necessary at the discovery or early validation stage of development.

In partnership with WEtech Alliance and Sitaran Group, Roadmap to MVP is a 10-week series to help women entrepreneurs with an innovation or tech startup understand and build a clear roadmap to deliver their MVP.
