Founder Lab: Validate, Build, & Pitch in 3 hours
Walk in with an idea. Walk out with a validated concept, a working prototype, and feedback on your pitch.
Hosted at PSL (Pioneer Square Labs) and powered by Lev — your AI cofounder — this hands-on workshop compresses the messy first month of building a startup into a single focused evening.
Only 30 spots available!
Who this is for
Early-stage founders with a business idea who need to pressure-test it and see something real before committing further
Vibe-coders and side-project builders with prototypes and need guidance to turn it into something launchable
Aspiring solopreneurs ready to stop planning and start shipping
If you've been stuck in "research mode" or have a Notion doc full of ideas that never make it to code, this is for you.
What you'll leave with
A validated idea brief (problem, customer, why now)
A working prototype built with the coding tool of your choice
A pitch deck ready to share with users, investors, or your group chat
Direct feedback from the Lev and PSL teams
A room full of fellow founders building alongside you
