Held the fourth Friday of every month from 11:30am-1:30pm in the ATDC Money Conference Room, Feedback Friday is a great opportunity to practice your investor or sales pitch, get specific advice, or do some general brainstorming with ATDC staff and mentors. This meeting is limited to 10 entrepreneurs/companies. Please register for one of the slots.
ATDC and the Atlanta Technology Angels (ATA) have partnered for this five-part workshop that focuses on the final steps required to prepare for talks with investors. Members of the ATA will be leading the discussion, giving attendees an invaluable opportunity to learn from and interact with some of the region's top angel investors.
You never get a second chance to make a good first impression. This class is for honing your pitch with ATDC veteran mentors before being thrown into the ring of angel investors. Eligible entrepreneurs should come prepared to give their pitch, have it critiqued, and make improvements.
Most technology startups fail. Why? They start executing before they have a sound business model. What about you? Have you discovered a scalable and profitable business model yet?
Customer Discovery Lab is a Customer Discovery Bootcamp designed for entrepreneurs. Customer Discovery Lab uses a combination of teaching methodologies from Customer Discovery (get out of the building), Lean Startup (iterative loop of experimentation), Startup Engineering (disprove your assumptions) and the Business Model Canvas to uncover your compelling business model.
After this program, you will have identified the core of your business model - your customer segment and value proposition. Or you may discover there isn't one. And that's OK too. It's better to find out now than after spending years and a fortune only to find out you were wrong.
How does it work?
You will be expected to talk to at least 10 potential customers each week.
Both Customer Discovery Theory and Customer Discovery Tools are prerequisites to Customer Discovery Lab. Please take Customer Discovery Theory first which is offered the second and fourth Tuesday of every month. Once you begin Customer Discovery Lab, you are then expected to attend every subsequent Thursday until you graduate.

During Investor Readiness Part 5, eligible ATDC entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to present to experienced investors from the Atlanta Technology Angels and receive feedback. If all goes well, you could be invited to make a formal presentation at a future member meeting of the ATA - or be referred to other potential resources.

Most concept-stage startups fail because they focus more on how to deliver a product than on the needs of people buying it. This course provides a concentrated overview of the Customer Development Process, Business Model Canvas and Minimal Viable Product. By understanding customers, startups reduce the risk of failure. This class is the first in the Customer Discovery Badge Program, and it should be followed with Customer Discovery Tools.
You are welcome to bring your own lunch.
This course is a prerequisite for Customer Discovery Tools and Customer Discovery Lab. You are only required to take it once.
This is a follow-on class from Customer Discovery Theory. The purpose of this class is to work with the entrepreneurs to make sure they are ready to move forward with the discovery process - actually interviewing potential customers. We will review the entrepreneurs' business hypothesis, initial set of interview questions, and tools to help build a persona of potential customers.
Customer Discovery Theory is a prerequisite for this class.
This meeting will be online only.
