How to Know a Problem Is Worth Solving Before You Build

📢 UPDATE: Event postponed to October 6th!

Founders waste months building solutions to problems that were never painful enough to pay for. This session is about the harder, earlier question: how do you know if a problem is actually worth solving, before you write a line of code or quit anything? We will look at how to separate a real problem from a merely interesting one, how AI now lets you test that distinction in days instead of months, and what founders wish they had validated before committing years to an idea.

❯ Guest Speakers include:

• Mohammed Badawy (Head of Investment, Falak Startups)

❯ What You'll Learn:

• How to tell a genuinely painful, valuable problem apart from one that's just interesting to you
• How to talk to potential users in a way that surfaces the truth, not politeness
• How AI tools can compress weeks of problem validation into days
• What signals actually mean a problem is worth building a company around, and which are false positives
• How to avoid falling in love with your solution before you've confirmed the problem is real

❯ Who Should Attend:

• Aspiring founders who have a problem area or industry in mind, but no validated idea yet
• Founders currently building who haven't fully pressure-tested the problem they're solving
• Anyone considering leaving a job to build something, but not yet sure the idea is strong enough
• Anyone interested in how AI is changing early-stage validation and company building
