B Start-up Launch Pad is an entrepreneurship programme supported by Virgin Start Up and run by the University of Birmingham, and it kicks off in June. The programme differs from others the university has run in the past: it trains participants using actual practitioners, entrepreneurs and real businesses (as much as possible) rather than trainers. It takes a “learning by doing” approach whenever possible, giving participants a chance to try what they’ve learnt.
I’ll be running a workshop for participants on the programme on 14th June, talking about my journey and relating my experience to web and app development. I want you to leave the session equipped with the tools to create a high-performing website to promote your business. I will demonstrate the best ways to present your content and value messaging, and how to tie it all together to convert visitors into real paying customers.

Update after the workshop
I was impressed with the format of the event, and those attending were clearly very motivated to get involved and ask questions. Slides from my presentation can be downloaded here (PDF).
