Have an idea you’re excited about, but not sure if others will be? Join us for Validating Your Idea with Jake Truemper, a startup advisor and product strategist with deep experience helping founders test assumptions, gather user insights, and build what customers actually want.

Truemper is the founder of Shift, which is an innovation consultancy that helps organizations navigate complex systems to find the intersection between business value and human need. They work with companies large and small to identify the right opportunities for transformation, and drive to the best possible solution.

During this interactive session, you’ll learn practical techniques to validate your concept early, avoid costly missteps, and build with confidence. Whether you’re just starting out or refining a current project, this workshop will equip you with tools to move forward strategically.

Come ready to ask questions, challenge your assumptions, and leave with a clearer path to market fit. RSVP here!
