We start at 5:30pm</p> <p>​About this workshop</p> <p>The foundation of a successful startup is a good idea, but most founders struggle to characterize the strength of their startup idea. As a result, many founders invest their time, money and effort only to build something nobody cares about. If only founders could get a specific, actionable signal sooner.</p> <p>To overcome this challenge, Nascent methodology enables founders to evaluate data from discovery interviews and quantify a startup idea in dollars ($). Ultimately, founders are able to decide within seconds whether to stop the project or continue iterating.</p> <p>​This workshop is ideal for founders of startups with no customers (i.e., idea-stage startups). You'll walk through a case study of a founder who applied Nascent methodology to their startup idea. If you find the methodology compelling, then you can join our January cohort and apply it to your own startup idea.</p> <p>​In this workshop, we'll use a case study to teach you to:</p> <ul> <li><p>​Identify People in Pain — potential customers who are actively struggling with a problem</p></li> <li><p>​Quantify the Pain in Dollars ($) — to assess how much value you could create by solving the problem</p></li> <li><p>​Avoid wasting time on ideas that are unlikely to be successful</p></li> <li><p>​Make decisions with minimal data (i.e., despite having few or no customers)</p></li> </ul> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="https://luma.com/yl4tna15">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
