Financial Resources - congratulations! Your team has been granted a market exploration budget of 100,000 fake GObuck$ in order to explore your team’s ideas and support your recommendations:

Travel to your marketplace for scouting and early partner discussions

Pay your team for its time

Engage third-party market research

Pay for in-market legal or accounting support

For clarity, these seed funds are to be utilized to explore the market to make your best case for acceptance by the GO. These funds are not to be utilized for product related channel (marketing expense) or logistical distribution (shipment and inventory) where there are no budget caps in place. Your proposed channel and distribution cost will be evaluated for acceptance by the GO related to required project investment versus return.

Remember, Milton Friedman once said “there’s no such thing as a free lunch” - in business, we must account for all, even when exploring new market opportunities.
