StartupTablelands has found that the biggest issue faced by rural startups is testing their minimum valuable product with their potential customer base. Getting to market through the media, door to door or at mass events is expensive in both direct costs and time.
One of our initiatives is to help members by securing site space at events across the tablelands - members can showcase their own projects, meet their own market and also help ST by talking about how innovative business practices have helped them. They don't have site fees to pay and don't need to be there for the whole day/event. They can simply take on a 4-5h slot and help with the setup/pack down as appropriate.
