EFactor presents: 7-Steps to a Successful Startup
Event Recap
We kicked off our first event in Seattle with Naeem Zafar and many other representatives from the entrepreneurial community in Seattle. Joining us as panelist were Jeff Levy and Patricia Diaz-Kismarton, both bringing their expertise in building their own companies up from scratch. Jeff has extensive experience working with franchises and Patricia shed light on her development of her wellness studios for women. Both added valuable perspectives on launching successfully which Naeem focused on. There can never be an exact formula needed in order to validate your ability to succeed as a startup. However, by using unique perspectives of individuals such as Jeff and Patricia, Naeem discussed 7 areas that need to be considered before launching into your startup. Some of the main points discussed touched on market discovery and validation for your product. However, Naeem stresses that the primary element needed to build a successful startup relies on the team that you build to move your startup into fruition. Although the event was small, good connections and ideas were shared, and all benefitted from the concepts that Naeem discussed. If you missed the event, take a look at the slides from Naeem’s presentation, and join the conversation on EFactor discussing the event.

Listen to this short clip from Naeem about what he will be covering in the this seminar.
Starting your own business is an exhilarating yet overwhelming experience. Entrepreneurs don't like to write a business plan. But how does one know that there is real potential for their idea. Short and to the point, the workshop offers practical, powerful seven questions that all entrepreneurs must answer. If they can answer these questions it will fundamentally improve their chances to succeed in any startup. Perhaps you still have a day job and are contemplating launching your own company-or perhaps you have lots of ideas and are wondering which one is most likely to succeed. This simple but thorough seven-step method will answer your most essential questions-questions that your investors will soon be asking you! Save yourself thousands of dollars and two years of your life before you plunge into your startup.
