What should I expect from a Business Clinic?
Each business clinic, whether you come as an individual or company of 2-3 people, will run for 1 hour. During this session, feel free to discuss your business idea/plan/model, and you may also want to prepare some questions for the mentors. This is not meant to be a review session. Rather, this is a casual chat about your business–be open to what new ideas might come out from this!
As part of the programme, the mentors may continue to work with you or your company to develop your idea, or he may put you in touch with other folks they believe you will benefit from connecting with. We won’t promise the same result for every one who signs up for the clinics, but we can promise that the experience will be enriching for both you and and the mentors.
How much do I pay?
With MDA’s support, this programme is absolutely free. To participate, tell us more about yourself, your ideas and your expectations. Your form will be forwarded to Marc or Benjamin, who will personally select the companies to meet. JFDI will be in touch to arrange the appointment with you.
For further enquiries on the programme, just drop us an email at [email protected]. See you soon!
