Workshop
Design & Rapid Prototyping
Nothing may be more key to your eventual success than rapidly, iteratively, and cost-effectively testing your hypotheses on a regular basis. This workshop is intended to accelerate your understanding of why, and how to, design and build testable prototypes - software and/or hardware - to get from a thousand "no"s to a million "yes"s - i.e. product-market fit or pre-seed raise. This is a hands-on workshop. You'll build a prototype, and if brave enough, actually present it.
