Most people try to “build first” without understanding the process: how founders pitch, how networking works, what investors ask, and what actually gets traction.
Fastest way to learn? Attend startup events:
- networking meetups
- pitch nights
- demo days
- incubator/open sessions
Almost every city has free events every week.
And yes — even if you only have a concept, you can still pitch. Make a simple deck and explain:
problem → who has it → why now → solution → why you.
Getting reps early helps you refine your thinking and meet people who can help you build.
Today’s challenge:
