From Half-Baked to Validated: An Ideation Workshop

In this hands-on workshop led by experienced founders and venture development experts, VentureForum will guide you through a proven process to identify and test the core assumptions underpinning your venture concept, move beyond gut feelings and gain the clarity needed to build a customer-driven business.

If you have a nascent idea or an early-stage startup, you'll leave with a foundational roadmap to:

• Uncover untested assumptions about the path to adoption which hinder early stage traction
• Deeply understand your target audience and what truly drives their decisions, moving beyond leading questions to uncover their core needs and existing workflows.
• Develop a practical customer development strategy to gather real-world validation and ensure your venture aligns with genuine market demand
