Build a Startup Idea with AI Investors Won’t Ignore

AUG4
17:00
  • This online event explores how to build startup ideas with AI tools that attract investor interest.
  • It is designed for founders who want to validate their concepts before committing significant time and resources.
  • Attendees will learn how to distinguish real opportunities from untested assumptions in the early startup process.

About this event

The gap between a good idea and a fundable startup isn't talent. It's knowing how to test what's real before you invest months into what isn't. AI has made that process faster and more accessible than ever, but only if you know which prompts and workflows actually work. In this session with Jonathan Greechan (Co-Founder and CEO of the Founder Institute), you'll get the exact tools and processes founders are using to run customer research, validate demand, and scope products without burning time on the wrong assumptions. If you've been waiting for a smarter way to start, this is it.

The prompts that replace weeks of customer and market research
How to define your first product without a technical background or a co-founder
The most costly AI mistakes aspiring founders make, and how to skip them entirely
