Problem Discovery Sprint*
We're looking for technical people, who want to build cool shit, but don't yet know what real problem they can solve. In this sprint we'll give you space, guidance and structure to find this problem.
The sprint will go as follows:
Figure out what field/industry you're interested in
Find industry specialists and book meetings with them to figure out what problems they experience
Find a problem you think is worthy of solving
Build a solution, present it to the company you talked to and see where it goes
Worst case: you learn how to do market research and outreach, and you've tried your best.
Best case: you build a working solution to a real problem and already have a paying pilot customer.
Couple remarks:
Sprint runs from May 18 to June 1.
You can apply both solo and with a team.
Treat it as a 2-week "hackathon" where YOU select a challenge for yourself.
We'll try to cater for each team individually, so that you can get the best support. If your solution pops, we'll help with further steps like funding and mentoring.
If you have questions, contact @DataMommy on TG.
