From Idea to First 10 Customers (2nd part)
Sat, May 30, 11:00 AM🚀 **From Idea to First 10 Customers — Part 2** The journey doesn’t stop after building the idea. The real challenge begins when you need people to actually use — and pay for — what you created. After the great response to our first session, we’re bringing back Part 2 with deeper discussions, practical insights, and real founder experiences focused on getting traction in the early stages. This session is designed for founders, aspiring entrepreneurs, freelancers, and anyone interested in understanding how startups move from an idea to their first real users and customers. No unrealistic “growth hacks.” No theory overload. Just practical conversations around early-stage growth, validation, customer acquisition, and building momentum. *** # 💡 What We’ll Discuss • How to get your first users • Finding early adopters • Mistakes founders make in the beginning • Why validation matters more than perfection • Building trust before scaling • Realistic approaches to early customer acquisition • Lessons from startup experiences *** # 🎯 Why Join Because getting your first customers is often harder than building the product itself. This session will help you better understand: ✔ how people discover products ✔ why some ideas gain traction and others don’t ✔ what founders should focus on in the early stages *** # 📅 Event Details 📅 **May 30, 2026** ⏰ **13:00 – 15:30** 📍 **The Social Hub** See you there!

🧠 Decision-Making Under Pressure (Part 2)
Sun, May 24, 11:00 AM🧠 **Decision-Making Under Pressure (Part 2)** The wait is over. After the great response to our first session, we’re bringing it back — with new scenarios, new challenges, and even more real-time decision-making. This is not a typical event. It’s an **interactive business simulation**, where you step into the role of a founder and face real-world startup situations under pressure. You’ll work in small teams, analyze scenarios, make decisions within limited time, and present your approach — just like in real life. *** # 💡 What to Expect 🔹 Work in teams 🔹 Solve realistic startup scenarios 🔹 Make decisions under time pressure 🔹 Present your strategy 🔹 Receive feedback and different perspectives Each round becomes more challenging, pushing you to think faster, communicate clearly, and act with confidence. *** # 🎯 Why Join Because building a startup is a series of decisions — and the ability to make them under pressure is what makes the difference. Whether you’re a founder, aspiring entrepreneur, or simply curious, this session will challenge you to think critically and act decisively. *** # Event Details 📅 **May 24, 2026** ⏰ **13:00 – 15:30** 📍 **The Social Hub** See you there!
