IncubatorEdu Update

                The district is excited to provide an update on the Business IncubatorEdu course. Currently
               there are 15 student enrolled. The students have received coaching from experts in their
               respective field on an almost weekly basis. Topics ranging from (Customer Segmentation,
               Marketing for Startups, Website Creation, Pricing and creating a value proposition for their
               product). Students have walked from the beginning of researching a problem they want to
               solve  to coming up with a solution to the problem to conducting market research by creating
               surveys to get feedback from potential consumers. Students recently completed the Financial
               unit where they had to determine the cost structure of their product. They also created a
               financial plan to forecast future revenues and expenses. They are currently working on their
               MVP Pitches (Minimum Viable Product) to receive feedback form potential investors.

               For the second semester students will implement their MVP to receive feedback form potential
               customers. We will also be diving into the legal aspects of creating a business. We will finish up
               with promotion and lastly with the final pitch at the end of the year.

               More information regarding the final pitch date and the invitation to investors is currently in
               the development phase and will be communicated sometime in March.
