We are introduced to our mentors, and scheduled the meeting with them on Thursday. We thought before going to the meeting, we should make an agenda to get the most out of it. We thought although mentors have received our slides, they might not have had a chance to go through them. So here is our agenda:

1-     To have a short presentation for them (the same as the Friday one), and particularly get their feedbacks on the value proposition and customer segment parts of our canvas.

2-      Maybe check our initial list of potential customers with them, and see if they can connect us with any of them.

3-      Discuss our strategies that we discussed on the  Monday meeting regarding how to make the list, how to approach the customers, and how to interview them. Particularly, get their feedbacks on our strategy to target academic researchers as “early adopters”.

4-      For the contacting potential customers, should we target individual researchers (bottom to top) in the organizations like CDRD and BC Cancer agency, or start lobbing from the administration level (top to bottom).

5-     People will be more receptive if we can contact them through the mentors than if we ‘cold-call’..

6-      The importance of the patent submission, and their experience with that regard.
