Saya selalu punya banyak ide bisnis tapi tidak pernah tahu cara memvalidasinya sebelum keluar modal. Kursus ini menjelaskan langkah demi langkah cara menguji permintaan pasar dengan cara sederhana, bahkan tanpa budget sama sekali. Setelah mengikuti latihannya saya berhasil memvalidasi satu ide dan dapat beberapa calon pelanggan pertama hanya dalam seminggu.

Понравилось, что показали, как проверить спрос до вложений, хотя примеров идей хотелось бы побольше.

Bon point de départ pour tester une idée sans budget, la partie validation de la demande était claire et utile.
