Masterclass #1: Talk to Users Before You Build with Nikhil Kamoji
🎤 About this masterclass
Join us for Masterclass 1/5 with Nikhil Kamoji, Founder at Quid, where he is building the vertical finance stack for multi-site and multi-entity operators.
In this session, Nikhil will lead Talk to Users Before You Build: Customer Discovery for Founders.
Most early-stage ideas die because founders build before they truly understand the problem, or because they trust what people say instead of what people do. This hands-on session will break down how to run customer discovery that actually de-risks your startup: who to talk to, which questions surface real pain, and what counts as a genuine signal.
This session is part of the founder preparation series leading up to Aspiring South Asian Founders Pitch to Angels - Hustle Games on 18 June.
