Traditional ways of thinking might be to build a product, then try to sell it. But that is actually backwards!!
⚡️Pitch It, Sell It —Before It’s Ready! Then start building!
A Real World Workshop with Irish Paul, serial tech entrepreneur.
📅 Tuesday, July 2
🕔 5PM
📍 Bar Helsinki - Kluuvikatu 8, Helsinki
Ready to take your business idea out of your head and into the real world? Join Irish Paul — expert in events, networking, and go-to-market strategies (and a successful tech entrepreneur with the scars to prove it) — for a fast-paced, practical session on how to validate your idea and sell it before it’s even started to build it!
You’ll learn:
* How to test if your business model actually works
* Ways to pitch and sell your MVP or prototype with confidence
* Sales & marketing tricks to create demand before you’ve built it
* Why perfection kills momentum
This is a casual, interactive session — bring your questions, your half-baked ideas, and a story of something you built, launched, or learned the hard way. Sharing is encouraged. Learning is guaranteed. Inspiration to move forward faster with your project is our goal.
No slides. No fluff. Just real talk and real tactics.
Hosted by Irish Paul – powered by 28 years of experience in startup sales

BACKGROUND:
We have kicked off a new Summer Startup Club in partnership with Helsinki Uni Incubators. The concept has a few bullets to it:

1. Encourage people to explore starting a company, especially as a side project.
2. Find teammates and great ideas!
3. Develop the ideas and test with potential customers fast
4. Support & encourage each other
4. Attend networking events together as an "entourage/delegation".
...and your ideas are welcome - what's missing to help you start a business idea.

We had a fantastic community kickoff event last week, with over 60 startup-type individuals in attendance, and all the remaining guests joined the after-party.

On 25th, tomorrow!, we will host some networking and help founders and builders to meet each other. Smart Matchmaking event for networking, finding teammates, or collaborations. Ideas are welcome! DM or share in the event chat. Join our community and see all the upcoming events at https://stafftribes.com/tribes/helsinki-incubators - already nearly 30 guests for tomorrow with zero marketing (it was midsummer!)

We have invited an IT developer community to join us. React Helsinki Startup Tribe will attend - so a perfect chance to mingle with developers to potentially join your team!

We can discuss what makes an ideal idea and hear some real-life stories of how to do so, and what might go wrong also.

Hope to see you soon at a Wednesday event in the summer. Let's spark, ignite & develop some amazing ideas together!
