SUMMARY:Product-Market Fit + Go To Market Strategy: A Free Lightning Workshop for Founders
DESCRIPTION:A toolkit for founders from Ali Maaxa\, Ph.D.\, incubation product & marketing strategist (founder: ProductTheory.io\, former: AWS AI\, New Relic AI\, Meta AI\, Recreation.gov)\, guest VC expert Marianne Motus (UC Berkeley Business School)\, PDX startup dev team Semi-Decent\, and leaders from CHIFOO and the ORPIB Incubator.\n\nThis is a FREE lightning workshop to help scrappy startup founders nail product-market fit (PMF) and go-to-market strategy (GTM). Be your own incubator\, be nimble\, and be ready to answer deep strategic questions for potential investors\, flagship customers\, or strategic partners — in a flash.\n\nSure\, PMF and GTM are buzzwords thrown around constantly. But they stand in for due diligence that actually makes a difference. Skipping the fundamentals is the primary reason 91% of startups fail:\n\nThe classic frameworks that undergird successful incubations — from enterprise AI to EdTech startups\nRigorous market research powered by smart AI context engineering\nReal-deal\, progressive hypothesis-testing toward a heavy-hitting MVP\nIn fact\, 82% of "failed" founders say that challenging their assumptions about their market would have saved their business.\n\nMost startups don’t find product-market fit for one of two reasons: consultancies charge high overhead to run studies and then throw their findings over the wall — or founders rely on raw AI outputs without the frameworks and context engineering that hold up under VC scrutiny and real product + user discovery.\n\nFounders need a toolkit they can use throughout their entire product and business development journey. Before you hire a fractional\, take generic expert advice from someone who doesn’t understand your context\, or worse — guess your way into brand damage — let us help you develop your ProductTheory with startup-friendly canvases that will anchor your pitch deck and your upcoming rounds of critical business decisions.\n\nLearn more about Ali Maaxa’s work: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alimaaxa/\n\nGet on board with ProductTheory.io: https://www.producttheory.io/\nTags: Portland Startup Week\, startups\, innovation\, aws\, product market fit\, go to market strategy\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482552
