I'm Pelser, your instructor
I have been working on startups for more than 20 years.
Every obstacle a new entrepreneur might face, I’ve seen it. From having an idea but no clue how to get started, to starting a business with no product and figuring out how to make it work. I have been through the struggle of startup more times than I care to count. Through the years, I have learned what works and what doesn’t work, what looks shiny but actually stinks and what looks like a bad idea at first but have massive potential.
I have mentored, coached and trained countless budding entrepreneurs through the years and understand what it takes to start and grow a business.

Validating your startup idea is a crucial part of the startup process. After this workshop, you will have a clear and workable blueprint for validating your idea, which means you will be armed with a set of hypotheses to go out into the world with and validate. Get this part right, and you have reached a major milestone on your startup journey.
General Overview
You will actively work on your startup throughout the workshop, which means you will not only receive the knowledge that comes with the workshop, but walk away with tangible results that you can implement immediately to grow your startup.
Idea Validation starts with hypothesising over a number of elements related to your product, your target market, your growth and the problem you are solving
Mapping your hypothesis is the next step for idea validation. You need to decide what is important and what is not at this stage in order to move forward with validating your idea.
Now that you have a hypothesis map, you need to create a set of hypotheses that you will use to run experiments with. Not all hypotheses are useful – learn which one’s are and which one’s aren’t.
You now need to run experiments on your idea. This step will show you exactly how to do this.
Data without interpretation means very little. Now that you have your data, you need to analyse it and move forward with your knowledge gained.
