Humanmade Founder Session – Are You Building the Right Thing?

​Many startups fail not because they can’t build a product, but because they build the wrong product.

​Before investing months of time, money, and effort into development, founders need to answer a critical question: Are we solving a problem people actually have?

​Join Humanmade for an evening discussion with experienced founders, advisors, and startup leaders as we explore customer discovery, market validation, product positioning, and the realities of gathering meaningful feedback in the early stages of a company.

​Topics will include:

​• Understanding customer needs and pain points
• Distinguishing genuine demand from positive feedback
• Learning from user testing and iteration
• Communicating an early-stage vision
• Avoiding common founder assumptions and blind spots
• Turning customer insights into better product decisions

​Whether you’re building a hardware product, software platform, consumer brand, or entirely new venture, this session will provide practical insights for validating ideas before committing significant resources.

​Speakers:
• Pam Daniels
• John Paton

​This event is part of the Humanmade Hardware Accelerator Founder Session series. Public attendance is welcome.

Presentations will begin at 5pm in our events' space.
