Centrepolis Accelerator workshop!
You’ve got a product idea. Now it’s time to shape your path forward.
Join
ProsperUs Detroit
and
Centrepolis Accelerator
for
Product Pathways: Turning Concepts Into Market-Ready Goods
, a workshop designed to support you in validating your business concept, preparing for market, and protecting your idea as you grow.
Together, we’ll explore:
How to test and validate your product in ways that prepare you for funding and growth
How to uncover market opportunities and secure your concept with intellectual property strategies
How to assess your product’s early-stage market fit and sustainability
How to build a go-to-market plan that connects with early adopters
Is this workshop right for you?
This session is designed for product-based businesses—those creating physical goods that require building or manufacturing. This includes:
Consumer packaged goods (CPG)
Hardware or devices
Industrial or equipment-based solutions
If your business is primarily service-based (consulting, retail storefront, restaurants) or software-only (apps, digital services), this workshop may not be the best fit. Certain CPG food businesses may find some content useful, but food-specific production challenges won’t be addressed.
