Concept Launch Pad
Concept Launchpad is a platform where ideas are brought to full fruition and concepts become viable businesses. Students will go through our launchpad program using our Entrepreneur GPS and speciality curriculums. The program will help individuals determine if their concept is viable before investing time and money into their business. Once it is determined that their concept is valuable to their target audience, our launchpad program will take students through the execution steps.
Concept Launchpad is a hands-on, practical approach that promotes creativity, critical thinking and leadership through the use of the Entrepreneur GPS curriculum and Do It BIG Academy.
Here at BIG, our entrepreneurs do not spend countless hours behind a computer researching. Instead, they are immersed into the market to test their prospective concept. Concept Launchpad provides an innovative platform to help the entrepreneur connect with their customers by listening to their needs and wants.
The Entrepreneur GPS curriculum, used in conjunction with Do It BIG Academy, equips the entrepreneur with the tools necessary to determine if their idea is viable in the early phase. Concept Launchpad saves the entrepreneur time, money, frustration and disappointment.
