Connecting SOMO: Local Entrepreneurs Designing and Building Products in Demand

The #1 reason new businesses fail is the lack of market demand. This means that the startup built a product or service that nobody wanted or needed. Essentially, they solved a problem that didn't exist, or the solution wasn't compelling enough for customers. During this session of Connecting SOMO, we will connect with founders and aspiring founders of tech based startups who will share their experiences in trying to validate their ideas.

What to Expect

• Hear from current founders in southern Missouri who used techniques to discover problems and insights into product solutions that customers demand, before beginning to develop the product.
• Gain insights into programs and services available in our region that provide aspiring founders these and other tools to help start companies with a higher degree of success.
• Takeaway anecdotes that may inspire you or help you support and inspire entrepreneurs in your community or region.
