An interactive seminar on the topic “The Nine Vital Sighs of Startup Success“ took place with experts from Silicon Valley as part of the “Academy for Women Entrepreneurs“ (AWE) project, supported by the US Embassy in the Kyrgyz Republic on March 19th. The speakers of the event were Jeff Wallace, co-founder of Silicon Valley in Your Pocket, and Paul Kallmes, an experienced mentor and consultant in the venture sector.

Seminar participants learned about the importance of assessing startups and the steps they take in the early stages to build a successful path to market. Jeff Wallace and Paul Kallmes provided valuable tools and recommendations to help startups better understand their customers and evaluate the market fit of their products.

This seminar not only served as a valuable source of information for participants but also provided an excellent opportunity for exchanging experiences and establishing connections with leading experts from Silicon Valley.
