Build a Startup Idea with AI Investors Won’t Ignore
·OnlineOnlineThe gap between a good idea and a fundable startup isn't talent. It's knowing how to test what's real before you invest months into what isn't. AI has made that process faster and more accessible than ever, but only if you know which prompts and workflows actually work. In this session with Jonathan Greechan (Co-Founder and CEO of the Founder Institute), you'll get the exact tools and processes founders are using to run customer research, validate demand, and scope products without burning time on the wrong assumptions. If you've been waiting for a smarter way to start, this is it.
