Hands-on workshops designed to help founders – from aspiring to experienced – to ideate, launch and scale their tech-enabled business faster.
Stop building for "everyone" — define exactly who you're solving for.
This 2-week program picks up exactly where Discover 101 leaves off. You've already done the work of confirming your problem is worth solving — now it's time to get precise about who has that problem most acutely, why they'd act on it, and how to tell them apart from everyone else who might casually nod along but never buy.
Discover 201 helps you turn a validated problem into a clear picture of who has it. You'll walk away with a defined Ideal Customer Profile. Grounded in real evidence, not assumptions — so your product, marketing, and sales all speak to the right person.
Already talking to investors? Walk out with a ready-to-use due diligence strategy, cap table clarity, and a valuation framework you can defend in the room.
Not fundraising yet? This is exactly when to learn how investors think, what they look for, and how to choose the right capital path for your stage.
Success isn’t based on the product you’ve built. It’s based on how well you understand your customer and solving a real problem.
