By

Marc Perron

Most of the time, startups coming from TTOs are lead by new entrepreneurs. Suddenly, they need to cope with new things such as product development, financing, marketing, sales, partnerships, etc. Even those having it 'in their blood' find it quite difficult and make costly mistakes, if not properly coached at the beginning on the fundamentals concepts that every entrepreneur need to quickly catch and convert business opportunities. This personalized Coaching Service covers the business side (mostly) as well as the personal side (if needed: fear to approach customer, fear of failures, etc.) of the startup entrepreneur journey.
