You are invited to attend a Frameworks Entrepreneur workshop to be held at Northern Ireland Science Park with a presentation on:
“Launch a New Product and Get Bang for your Buck”
by Crescent Capital LLP
Programme Overview:
Avoiding the “wet squib” syndrome and the ensuing underperformance, wasted marketing and de-motivation among staff requires in depth, strategic and tactical planning beginning as far back as product development. Starting with the end objective clearly defined will significantly reduce the risks involved in launching a new product on the market and produce results that exceed expectations. Join us for a presentation and discussion that will include:
The importance of “framing” a market to maximize potential,
What features and benefits to focus on when developing and launching your product,
How to set a competitive price that will maximize gross margins,
Deciding on the “right time” to launch a new product and
Determine what launch process will set the stage for success?
The seminar will be led by John Knapton of Venture Capital partners, Crescent Capital LLP.

About NISP’s Frameworks Entrepreneur Workshops
NISP offers ongoing educational opportunities for entrepreneurs building and growing innovative hitech, biotech or cleantech companies and offers member companies the opportunity to provide expert content to a responsive, interactive audience.
Many of today’s business founders and future entrepreneurs have scientific and technical backgrounds but have had limited experience in industry, so they often lack exposure to critical information which is essential to leading a start-up. To fill this gap, NISP offers Frameworks Entrepreneur Workshops to provide these bright leaders with the vocabulary, foundations and framework around which they can build awareness of the many disciplines they will oversee as “C” level managers”
