Founders' Mondays - Strengthening the Customer Signal
Everyone you pitch is interested.
Coffee, meetings, "send me more".
Nobody has bought.
Interest is not urgency. What they say is not what they mean. And the competitor that matters is rarely the one on your slide.
If your engine stalls at Customer, this week is yours.
The question we're asking: who actually has the pain, and how do you know?
One real founder story, unfolded a layer at a time, alongside your own customer. Unbox the person, the problem and the world they already live in, then test it against the three places it usually breaks.
No prior sessions needed. Nothing to prepare. If you came to The Business Engine, bring your sheet.
Why we’re here?
