Hello @AlaaElrhman
Thank you for sharing your project idea with the Edgeryders Community Members.
I have a few questions for you and your team :

  1. The first step for you is to identify your early adopters who may be the green startups in Egypte; what does your platform offer for these startups? And why would they join you?
  2. Do you have a draft of the content of your workshop courses?
  3. What is your strategy to drive people to your platform?

Hi @zmorda,
Thanks for your comment,
1- firstly, at this stage of our project we work mainly on “waste management WM startups and companies”, and we identified that there is about 70 startups and companies in this sector,
And by interview with some of startups we proposed our platform idea and services that will be provided to them as we mentioned at our presentation like "mapping of waste management startups for enhance connection and networking between the starups and companies for sharing opportunities, profile for each company, events, news, WM authorities and entities, workshops and courses on WM,…and other services, we find that there is need for our services from different sides.
2. Yes, we work on the first draft and we review the content with experts at this sector
3. At this stage we arrange meetings with many stakeholders to propose our platform services and the next stage will be an event.
