Happy Monday Makers & Creators,

💡 IDEA VALIDATION – PREALPHA

First things first, a friend and I got together two weekends ago and had a “hackathon” to build this brand new customer development tool. It’s great for early-stage founders, aspiring entrepreneurs and creators who want to validate their idea.

Enter your email here to get a link to be part of the beta group. Couple days after you sign up, you’ll get a feedback form. Would love if you could fill it out! Yup, this is very inception: doing customer development on a customer development tool.

🧠 IDEA CREATION - STARTUP WEEKEND

Speaking of hackathons, I am excited to invite you all to Startup Weekend, starting at 5PM Denver Time. Unlike most, this one is free and is an incredible 54-hour experience where you can pitch an idea and get feedback from like-minded individuals, or listen to other peoples pitches, join them, and get deep into idea validation and marketing (and coding if you want!).

🖥 IDEA PRESENTATION – PITCH-DECK WORKSHOP

After doing this recently for the global YPO network, startup communities in Taiwan, Techstars in Japan, and 100’s of people on Clubhouse, I’ve had a ton of requests to host it again. So, that is exactly what I’ll do. RSVP here to join me on Wednesday April 28th at 10am Denver time. The session will go for an hour, and will be extremely interactive.
