Orlandopreneur Lunch 'n Learn Ya™: The Venture Canvas™
Orlando Public Library (downtown), 101 E Central Blvd, ROOM 309, Orlando, FL, 32801, United States
[RSVP, Today! Only 25 seats, so get yours, now!](https://bit.ly/4kUzNQO)
While every incubator, accelerator, school, and mentor is pushing the “business model canvas” developed from Lean methodology (from Eric Ries’ seminal book, *The Lean Startup*), we’re *still* suffering from a 95% failure rate. While containing many important lessons, it hasn’t moved the needle.
As a lifelong entrepreneur and project manager, Rupert has studied the *causes* of failure (*it’s not what you think!*), and developed a new methodology that’s *generated a 12X (60%+) success rate.*
It all starts with his new type of BMC, one that – *if diligently applied* – can *exponentially increase your startup or small business’ chances of success*. He calls it the “**Venture Canvas™**”.
Utilizing his business methodology, he successfully made startups **“better, faster, cheaper”**, resulting in multiple exits in multiple industries.
So, come learn about his Venture Canvas, and how it can help you achieve your startup or small business dreams!
(Oh, and lunch will be DELISH!)
These *Lunch ’n Learn Ya™* events are part of our educational programs to help entrepreneurs and small business owners reduce (negative) risks, create more opportunities (positive risks), and *exponentially* increase your chances of (your definition of) success.
### 💳 **Registration Fees:**
* **$35** – For Subscribers
