NUtech Ventures

Why should you join a training program on customer discovery with NUtech Ventures? Great question. Let us tell you. Customer discovery is a process that helps startups understand and better communicate the value of the product they offer. This specific program teaches a proven approach championed by the National Science Foundation. It occurs completely via Zoom so people across the state with new business ideas who need to conduct some customer interviews to refine it can participate.

So imagine this: that "million dollar idea" finally comes to you, BUT you're not sure if it's something people would actually buy or not. 🤷♀️ Enter the Nebraska I-Corps Introduction to Customer Discovery program - a free service that will teach you how to vet your ideas and find customers for your business. Hosted by NUtech Ventures and the NSF I-Corps Hub Great Lakes Region (with content taught by NBDC's very own Josh Nichol-Caddy), this is the perfect opportunity to receive one-on-one coaching.
