How big is the opportunity? and how do you know? w/ Dr Thomas Hellmann

​How big is the market you’re going after — and can you actually justify the number?

​Join Dr Thomas Hellmann, DP World Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, for an interactive session on market sizing and financial projections.

​We’ll explore how founders can move beyond headline market figures and build a credible view of their opportunity — from TAM, SAM and SOM to translating market assumptions into realistic financial projections.

​This will be a practical, interactive lecture designed to help you pressure-test the numbers behind your startup and communicate the scale of the opportunity more convincingly.
