About this event
Most products do not fail because teams cannot build. They fail because they build confidently on assumptions that were never properly tested. This interactive workshop is designed to help product people and founders slow down just enough to spot the beliefs, guesses, and inherited ideas underneath their roadmap before those assumptions turn into wasted time, budget, and momentum. About the Event This is a hands-on workshop for people who make product decisions and want sharper thinking behind them. Instead of sitting through a one-way talk, you will work through the assumptions behind a product, feature, customer problem, or growth idea and examine whether they are solid, risky, outdated, or simply unproven. The focus is practical: what are you currently taking for granted, and how can you tell whether those assumptions deserve to guide your next move? If you are building a startup, managing a product, leading discovery, or trying to improve product-market fit, this session gives you a structured way to pressure-test your thinking. Because the event is interactive, you should expect active participation rather than passive listening. The value comes from engaging with the exercises, hearing how others frame similar challenges, and leaving with a clearer view of what needs validation next. What to Expect You can expect a workshop-style format built around discussion, reflection, and practical analysis. The session will likely move from framing the problem, to identifying key assumptions, to examining which ones matter most and how to test them. During the event, you may work through areas such as: Customer assumptions: what you believe users need, want, or struggle with Problem assumptions: whether the pain point is urgent, frequent, and worth solving Solution assumptions: whether your current product or feature idea is actually the right response Business assumptions: what must be true for adoption, retention, or value creation to happen Prioritization assumptions: which beliefs are driving the roadmap and whether they are strong enough to do so There will also be room for shared learning. Hearing how other founders and product people describe their own product bets often makes your own blind spots easier to recognize. That community element matters, especially when you are too close to your own work to see what has become "obvious" only because it has gone unchallenged for too long. Since the event is tagged as community, networking, meetup, and social, expect an atmosphere that is thoughtful but approachable. This is not about showing up with perfect answers. It is about bringing a real product question, engaging honestly, and learning in public with other people doing the same. Why Attend If you have ever said "we know users want this" without being fully sure how you know, this workshop is worth your time. It helps you separate evidence from intuition and identify where your team may be moving too quickly from belief to execution. You should leave with more than general inspiration. The goal is to give you a clearer mental model for evaluating assumptions and a more concrete sense of which ones deserve immediate validation. That can influence product strategy, customer research, roadmap decisions, messaging, and even whether a major initiative should move forward at all. Attending can be especially useful if you are in a moment of uncertainty: pre-launch, post-launch, before a major feature investment, during a pivot, or while trying to understand why growth or engagement is not matching expectations. In those moments, better questions are often more valuable than faster execution. There is also value in the room itself. Product work can become insulated very quickly, and founders often carry assumption-heavy decisions without enough external challenge. Spending time with peers who understand the stakes can help you think more clearly and act more deliberately. Practical Details This event takes place in person on Monday, June 30 at 10:00 AM PDT. If you are planning to attend, set aside time not just for the session itself but for the conversations around it, since interactive workshops are often most useful when you arrive ready to participate and compare notes with others. Because the format is workshop-based, it is a good idea to come with a specific product, feature, customer segment, or strategic question in mind. You will get more out of the event if you can apply the discussion directly to something real rather than trying to think in the abstract. A simple way to prepare: Bring one product idea, feature, or decision you want to examine Think about the top 3-5 things that must be true for it to succeed Be ready to discuss where those beliefs came from Be open to challenge, refinement, and better framing If you care about building products with stronger foundations, this workshop offers a useful pause point. It is a chance to step back from delivery mode, inspect the assumptions carrying your strategy, and make better decisions before more effort gets locked in.
Who should attend
This is for people who make product bets and want to make them with stronger evidence, clearer thinking, and fewer hidden leaps of faith. - **You are a founder** trying to validate whether your product idea, positioning, or next move is grounded in something real rather than hope, habit, or urgency. - **You work in product management** and want a better way to examine the assumptions behind roadmap priorities, feature requests, and customer problems. - **You are early in discovery or pre-launch** and need help identifying what must be true before you invest more time, money, or team effort. - **You are building but feel uncertain** about product-market fit, user demand, adoption, or retention, and you want to understand which assumptions may be creating that uncertainty. - **You like interactive sessions** where you can think out loud, test ideas with peers, and leave with practical next steps instead of just theory. - **You value community with substance** and want to meet other product people and founders who are also working through real decisions, tradeoffs, and product questions.
