In the Business Ideation and Validation Phase of our Alumni Venture Seed Fund, our Genius Founders have been learning how to research, develop, and refine their beachhead markets and end-users. From entity formation to surveying stakeholders, our entrepreneurs are understanding how to validate their ventures and target their first customers.
