About Event
Join us for an exclusive 75-minute workshop with John Edgar, a founding team member of DigitalOcean, DeviantArt and now Vibes DIY, who has built multiple venture-backed companies from zero to public markets.
This session covers:
Selecting ideas that clear investor filters, metrics that matter before and after product market fit.
Fundraising patterns across stages, board dynamics, the discipline of weekly operating cadence.
A short interactive build to demonstrate how to turn an idea into a small, shareable tool quickly.
Perfect for students, aspiring founders, venture capitalists, and anyone curious about the venture-backed startup journey.
