**🌱 Smart Idea Framework: Validate Your Business Idea in 2 Hours (Interactive Workshop)**
How many business ideas are sitting in your head right now, waiting for "the right moment"?

Most entrepreneurs waste months (sometimes years) on ideas that were never going to work.

They skip validation, fall in love with their solution, and only discover the fatal flaw after burning through time, money, and energy.

What if you could test an idea in 2 hours instead of 6 months?

**What Makes This Workshop Different**
This isn't a slideshow. This isn't theory.
We'll pick 2-3 volunteers from the room (And yes, you'll need to pitch) and validate their actual business ideas, live, in front of everyone. You'll watch the entire process unfold in real time: the brainstorming, the filtering, the brutal honesty, the "aha" moments.
Whether you volunteer or observe, you'll leave with a framework you can use on your own ideas the very next day.

**The Smart Idea Framework (3 Steps)**

**Step 1: Brainstorm** We'll use AI as a co-founder to extract 15 business ideas from your background. Not generic startup ideas. Ideas rooted in YOUR skills, YOUR access, YOUR obsessions.

**Step 2: Filter** Most ideas need to die. We'll kill the weak ones fast using founder-market fit criteria, and turn the survivors into clear, testable offers.

**Step 3: Test** AI will play the role of a skeptical customer. We'll stress-test the offer, uncover objections, and refine the pitch before it ever touches a real human.

**A Word on AI**
We'll use AI throughout this workshop, but with a grain of salt. AI is a powerful thinking partner that can simulate objections and spot weak points. But it's not a crystal ball. The real validation still comes from talking to actual humans. Think of this as the sparring session before the real fight.

**What You'll Walk Away With**
✓ A repeatable 3-step framework to validate any business idea
✓ Ready-to-use prompts you can copy and run yourself
✓ Clarity on which ideas to pursue and which to drop
✓ New connections with fellow entrepreneurs building in Lisbon
**The Location**
We're gathering at Selllva Campo de Ourique, one of Lisbon's coziest spots. Think colorful interiors, lots of plants, and a relaxed jungle vibe that's perfect for creative conversations.

Coffee, drinks, and snacks will be available for purchase, so come ready to fuel your brain while we work through real ideas together.

If you arrive first, I'll buy you a coffee or a drink.
