About Event

Building a startup is exciting, but the early decisions you make can save months (and money) later. This event is a practical, founder-focused session designed to help you start with clarity, validate the right problems, and set up strong fundamentals before you scale.

​You’ll hear short, honest stories from 3–4 founders who are currently building their own businesses. They’ll share what they did right, what they wish they knew earlier, and the real steps they took to go from idea to execution.

What we’ll cover

  • ​Choosing the right problem and validating demand early

  • ​Defining your ideal customer and sharpening your value proposition

  • ​MVP thinking: what to build first (and what to skip)

  • ​Early go-to-market basics: traction, pricing, distribution

  • ​Team, roles, and founder alignment from day one

  • ​Common early-stage mistakes and how to avoid them

Who should attend

​Aspiring founders, early-stage startup teams, students, makers, freelancers exploring a business idea, and anyone curious about entrepreneurship.

Format

​Foundations talk + founder lightning shares + interactive Q&A and networking.

​Walk away with a clearer next step, practical frameworks you can apply immediately, and connections with people building in the same direction.

Limited spots. Register to save your seat.
