APX Podcast: The Early Stages
A podcast series walking you through the journey of starting your own company. Six episodes, six steps — from idea to founding to funding and growing your startup.
How do I start my own company? How do I know my idea is good? What’s the name of my product? Where do I get the money from and much do I need? What about marketing? And how do I build a strong team to master all of this?
