The problem it solves

The market, and why this works now
The rising trend of remote work has increased the demand for effective team collaboration tools, making immersive problem-solving workshops timely. A first revenue move could involve partnering with local chambers of commerce to promote workshops directly to their member businesses. However, securing venues for these hands-on sessions can be costly and may require upfront capital, posing a risk if attendance does not meet expectations.
