Does lean canvas, market research or cash flow tell you anything? Students who want to move their idea closer to implementation and get money to develop their own business had to deal with these concepts. This is the Start Your Business competition organized by the MU Technology Transfer Center in cooperation with the South Moravian Innovation Center. František Zelenák, a doctoral student from our group, is also taking part. He managed to advance to the finals, keep your fingers crossed!
What preceded it? In the beginning, of course, there was an idea, the most important thing. To participate in the competition, it was necessary to prepare the above mentioned documents: basic info about the team, lean canvas, market research results and cash flow plan for 3 years. And then just stand in front of the jury and present your idea convincingly. You can find out more about the competition in the University Magazine M, look on page 19.
