**From Idea to Product-Market Fit:**
Getting your first users is hard. Building something they actually want is harder.

In this live AMA, we’re bringing together a cross-functional panel of product experts - from design and research to engineering and leadership - who’ve helped early-stage startups turn messy ideas into valuable, usable products.

We’ll explore how to validate ideas, uncover real user needs, and know when you’ve hit product-market fit - or not.

Bring your questions. Bring your blockers. Bring your MVP.

**Meet the Panel:**
**[John Brombley](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonbrombley/) \- Product Design**

**[May Ku](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mayhyunjiku/) \- Market Research & Validation**
