Description

Many aspiring entrepreneurs never start because they believe that they need a technical co-founder to get their startup off the ground. However, this is not always the case. This talk will explore various methods for validating a startup idea without requiring the involvement of a technical co-founder from day 1. Marius will cover both strategic and tactical approaches that can help determine whether an idea has potential and to refine it to increase its chances of success. By taking these steps, you can start building momentum and attracting the attention of mentors, co-founders, and investors who can help take your startup to the next level.
