About Event

Taking the leap into entrepreneurship is as much about personal readiness as it is about having a great idea. Before you invest time and capital, you need to know if founder life aligns with your goals—and how to turn a broad concept into a validated business strategy.

Hosted by Edmonton Unlimited, this interactive workshop takes you from self-reflection to immediate action in a single session:

Part 1: The Reality Check (Mindset & Readiness) — Uncover what launching a startup in Edmonton actually takes. We'll evaluate founder readiness, risk tolerance, time commitments, and how to shift your focus from falling in love with a solution to solving real market problems.
Part 2: The Blueprint (The Lean Canvas) — Transition instantly from mindset to execution. Ditch traditional 40-page business plans for a dynamic, one-page Lean Canvas. You’ll map out your target customers, unique value proposition, revenue models, and key assumptions.

You’ll walk away with clarity on your personal starting point, a visual 1-page business roadmap, and concrete next steps to test your idea using Edmonton’s rich startup ecosystem.
