Live Problem Statement

W1

Pre-PMF

Problem discovery, customer conversations, building before certainty.

Problem brief

Receive your startup's problem statement. Understand the context, constraints, and what success looks like.

W2

PMF

Identifying, measuring, and moving toward product-market fit.

User research

Talk to real users. Map the problem space. What are people actually saying versus what the startup thinks they're saying?

W3–4

Post-PMF Scale

Operationalising traction — processes, team growth, not breaking what works.

Diagnosis & framing

Synthesise your research. Define the real problem, not the presented one. Align with the startup's current stage.

W5

GTM Playbook

Positioning, launch sequencing, and channels that move early-stage needles.

Go-to-market proposal

Draft a GTM recommendation for your startup. What would you launch, to whom, and how?

W6

Roadmap, Briefs & Artefacts

PRDs, briefs, roadmaps founders and engineers actually use.

Product brief

Write a real PRD or brief for the solution you're proposing. Structured, actionable, founder-ready.

W7

UX & Communication

User experience, stakeholder alignment, feedback loops.

UX walkthrough

Map the user flow for your solution. Present it to the group and get live critique.

W8

MVP

Scoping, shipping, and learning from a minimum viable product.

Build your MVP

Scope and ship a lightweight version of your solution, enough to test the core assumption with real feedback.

W9–10

Interview Prep

Startup interviews, positioning your work, founder intros.

Final presentation

Present your full solution to the startup. This is your portfolio piece — and often, your introduction to a potential employer.

The gap between wanting to work in startups and being someone a founder would actually hire is learnable. It just rarely gets taught. This program is how I close that gap.
