VENT 0250 - Technology Venture Growth

Technology companies are historically known to spend their core resources on product development, often without appropriate consideration of realistic target markets and financial realities. With appropriate growth strategies identified within a comprehensive actionable business plan, technology companies are better able to attract investors and customers, and increase their chances of success. Tech Venture Growth introduces participants to comprehensive growth strategies such as target market research; capital acquisition assistance; financial forecasting including cash flow projections; product development strategies; patenting, copyrighting and trade marking; business to business marketing and sales strategies; business presentation skills; and business plan development. Participants will also receive 12 months of business advising from the Peter Thomson Centre for Venture Development (PTCVD) to assist them in the action phase of their growth and business plan strategies. Prerequisite: Resume. Interview with the PTCVD business advisor. Participants should be in business or in the start-up phase.
