About this workshop

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.

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.

​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.

​In this workshop, we’ll use a case study to teach you to:

​Identify People in Pain — potential customers who are actively struggling with a problem

​Quantify the Pain in Dollars ($) — to assess how much value you could create by solving the problem

​Avoid wasting time on ideas that are unlikely to be successful

​Make decisions with minimal data (i.e., despite having few or no customers)
