Build the right things, in the right order and without wasting time or money.
Marketing doesn’t start with ads—and it doesn’t wait until you’re “ready” either. This practical, founder-focused session breaks down what to do first, what to delay, and why sequencing matters when you’re building a product from zero to traction.
Whether you’re pre-launch, early revenue, or bootstrapping your next idea, this event will help you avoid common marketing traps and focus on what actually moves the needle.
