What This Session Covers

This is a practical session focused on product validation and learning signals.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

  • 🤔 The Eyebrow Metric - How to spot the exact interview moments that tell you what to build and what to cut.
  • đź§Ş The Prototype-Test Loop - How to run a one-shot build, test with 5–10 real users, then iterate using AI tools.
  • 📝 Design Partnership Agreements - How to turn early adopters into signed partners investors look for before funding.

WHY THIS TOPIC MATTERS
Most founders don’t fail because they can’t build. They fail because they build the wrong thing. In this session you’ll get a practical system for customer validation: how to run interviews that surface real signal, test prototypes with real users, and turn early adopters into design partners.

  1. Opening & Context – Why AI prototypes still need validation
  2. Core Concept – Eyebrow Metric – What to listen for in real interviews
