The Perfect Companion to Our Cohort Programs

Our new workshop series is specifically designed to run alongside and enhance traditional cohort-based programs. These sessions offer the hands-on, "just-in-time" execution you need to bridge the gap between idea and validate and keep building year-round.

Building Your MVP 101

Translate validated ideas into testable, buildable products.

Are you worried about overbuilding, overspending on development, or launching something customers won’t actually use?

This workshop will help you prioritize what to build now versus later. Learn a variety of proven frameworks to translate your initial ideas into testable, buildable products. Leave with your next product roadmap in hand.

What you'll do: 

  • MVP Frameworks: Learn frameworks for both low-fidelity and high-fidelity versions of your product.
  • Implement feedback loops: Understand how to set up customer feedback loops and product road mapping.
  • Define your MVP: Walk away with a clearly defined MVP and a list of identified "must-have" features.
  • Takeaways: Create a concrete plan to run your first early validation experiments.

Coming Soon.

Sales Fundamentals 101

Go from “I’ve had a few conversations” to a clear, repeatable way to get your first customers.

If you’ve built something (or have a pilot) but sales feel inconsistent, unclear, or a bit like guesswork — this workshop will help you turn early traction into a simple, structured sales approach you can actually execute.

What you'll do:

  • Clarify who you should be selling to: Define your early customer and where to find them.
  • Map your first sales process: From outreach to conversation to close (no guessing, just what works early).
  • Write your first outreach messages: Create emails or scripts you can start using immediately.
  • Leave with a simple, testable sales plan: Know exactly what to do next to generate consistent traction.

Date

Coming Soon.

These Workshops Are For You If:

  • You have an idea or early product and need clarity on what to build or how to start selling it.
  • You’re actively building (or about to build) and want to avoid wasting time and money on the wrong things
  • You’re feeling stuck — whether that’s overbuilding your product or struggling to get consistent traction
  • You’ve started talking to customers or users but aren’t sure what to do with the feedback
  • You want practical, step-by-step guidance and to leave with something you can actually use right away
