Sustainable Products Business

The program taught me to validate my ideas before investing significant time and money. Instead of rushing to launch, I spent three months researching my target market and discovered my initial concept needed major adjustments.

Marcus joined our program in early 2024 with an idea for eco-friendly household products. Through systematic market research and customer interviews, he refined his concept and launched successfully six months later. His business now serves customers across Queensland and New South Wales.
