This small group advisory session is designed to help early-stage ventures manage their product for validation and Product/Market Fit.

Participants will define product strategy beyond the MVP and learn how to bridge the gap between the problem space and the solution space. The tools and frameworks used in the workshop will help startups understand how to prioritize their development work and achieve a high degree of Product/Market Fit as quickly as possible.
