Jakub Szlosek to Serve as a Judge in the ASBiRO “Plan na start” Competition
We are pleased to announce that our CEO, Jakub Szlosek, has been invited to serve on the judging panel of the prestigious PLAN NA START competition, organized by Asbiro University. This event is a unique opportunity for young entrepreneurs to test their business ideas under the guidance of experienced experts.
The Importance of Properly Assessing Initial Business Assumptions
One of the most common mistakes made by aspiring entrepreneurs is overestimating or underestimating the importance of initial data regarding their project. The lack of appropriate tools to effectively evaluate one’s own concept is a natural challenge faced by many startups. That is why it is so important to use methods that not only accelerate development but, above all, ensure you’re heading in the right direction.
Expert Knowledge as the Foundation of Success
The goal of the PLAN NA START competition is to provide participants with practical knowledge and experience that will help them use their resources more effectively and successfully validate their ideas. The jury, composed of business practitioners, provides comprehensive feedback that can prove to be invaluable support for future entrepreneurs.
Thanks to experts from various business fields, participants receive not only an evaluation of their projects but also guidance on building competitive advantages, identifying key constraints, and segmenting their target audience. It is precisely this access to such knowledge that is of immense value to those taking their first steps in business.
Jakub Szlosek’s Experience as Support for Participants
For Jakub Szlosk, serving on the competition jury is also an opportunity to share the tools and methods he acquired during the Innovation Manager Academy, organized by the Polish Agency for Industrial Development. Among the key tools that can help young entrepreneurs are, among others:
- Design Thinking—an approach focused on the user and their needs,
- Open Innovation – an open, collaborative approach to innovation,
- Business Model Canvas – a tool for designing business models,
- Change Management – a key aspect in a dynamic business environment.
