In this section, Tom Avery and Kelsey Otero will walk you through the basic foundations of business structure. You’ll start by defining your target customer, then build your Business Model Canvas to visualize your business direction. From there, you’ll learn how to draft financial projections and, finally, how to pitch your business to investors, clients, and other audiences.
