Open days by Untile
The Unromantic Side of Building Early Products
What really happens between the first idea and a product people love.
Where raw stories meet real lessons.
Open Days by Untile is a series of in-person gatherings in Viana do Castelo, bringing together designers, developers, product managers, founders, and tech enthusiasts for candid conversations, knowledge sharing, and community building.
In this edition, we lift the curtain on the less glamorous side of building early-stage products. Between pitch decks and MVP demos lies a path filled with wrong assumptions, delayed launches, and unexpected rejections. Our guest speakers will share unfiltered stories including mistakes, detours, and the strategies that truly made a difference.
If you’re a designer, engineer, product lead, founder, or simply curious about what it really takes to build something from scratch, this event is for you.
