The programme
01WEEKS 1-3
Find the real problem

Most first ideas are a solution looking for a reason. We take yours apart.

02WEEKS 4-6
Build the smallest thing

Something usable by a stranger, shipped, before we talk about anything else.

03WEEKS 7-9
Find ten real users

Not friends. Ten people who would notice if it disappeared.

04WEEKS 10-12
Decide honestly

Continue, change shape, or stop. Stopping well is a skill worth learning early.

Open Q&A

Ask anything. Questions come to me privately, and the ones I answer are published here so the answer is useful to more than one person.

Sign in to ask a question.

Application

Tell me what you are building.

About twenty minutes, saved as you go. Applications close the last Friday of each quarter, and I reply to everyone, including the people I turn down.
