About Event
Building AI Products That Win: Avoid the 7 Mistakes That Kill Your Products
With Alex Dang – Stanford Alum, Former Amazon Exec, McKinsey Advisor, and Co-Author of The Venture Mindset
Everyone’s building AI products and services — but most products still fail.
Why? It’s not the tech. It’s the product thinking.
Join Alex Dang, Silicon Valley strategist and co-author of the global bestseller The Venture Mindset, for a no-fluff, high-impact workshop on what really separates winning AI products from the ones that never ship—or worse, launch and flop.
You’ll learn the 7 deadly mistakes that kill AI projects—and how to avoid them using the same tools that helped scale ideas at Amazon and drive innovation with Fortune 500s and startups alike.
This workshop is battle-tested, hands-on, and designed for builders who want to move faster without wasting time on the wrong things.***
What You’ll Learn
• How to stress-test clarity and ambition of your idea
• How to run fast MVP tests (without overbuilding)
• How to identify and design for edge cases
• Why simple hacks often beat complex models
• Why storytelling and demos matter more than feature lists
• How to reimagine, not just automate
• And most importantly: how to pick a problem worth solving
You’ll leave with a framework, tools, and mental models you can apply immediately—whether you’re shipping your first prototype or your tenth investor update.***
Who Should Join
• Startup founders
• Anyone ready to stop talking about AI — and start shipping smarter***
What You'll Get
- A proven framework to validate and stress-test your AI product ideas with clarity and ambition
- Templates and examples to improve storytelling, demo strategy, and product thinking instantly
- A certificate of Completion to showcase your skills in AI product building and apply it immediately
