Do This First, Markus will discuss Customer Discovery, a process for testing if your idea is something people want and will pay for. More importantly, we'll discuss why it's the first thing you should do once you're committed to exploring an idea and why the most accomplished founders rely on customer insights. By the end of this session, you'll have a ready-to-go checklist to build your own successful start-up. For more information on the event, visit our website here!
