Tech Startup Masterclass – Turning Your Tech Idea into a Business

Got a brilliant tech idea but not sure how to turn it into a real business? This masterclass is for you.

Join us for an inspiring and practical session with Oyinkansola Adebayo, Founder of Niyo Group, who wowed the audience at Slush’d Cornwall 2025 with her incredible talk on tech entrepreneurship and innovation.
Now, Oyin is back to go deeper – helping you shape your idea into something ready for customers, investors, and the wider world.

This interactive workshop will guide you through the essentials of building a startup from the ground up, including:

Your vision – defining the “why” behind your business
Exploring the customer problem – identifying the challenge you’re solving
Your solution – refining your product or service offering
Market understanding – where does your idea fit?
Business model discovery and testing – making sure it’s viable
Early customer acquisition planning – how to attract your first customers

Whether you’re just starting out or already shaping your tech product, you’ll leave with practical tools, fresh insights, and a clearer roadmap for your startup journey.

Who should attend?
- Aspiring entrepreneurs with a tech idea
- Early-stage startup founders
- Innovators curious about business models and customer discovery
