Entrepreneurial Thinking: From maker spaces to market places

Maker Spaces & Ideation: Begin with an Idea
Consider some problems you have in your life? What is a good or service that might help solve the problem? In business, Ideation is a fancy word to describe coming up with new ideas. When you come up with an idea, you have to test the idea on potential customers to see if there is a market. Value Proposition is a fancy way of saying: what is the value of your idea (proposition)?
