Most founders today are not failing because they lack ideas, ambition, or even capital. They are failing because their learning and validation cycles are too slow.
AI changed everything in the world of startups, and the speed is unimaginable. Companies like Lovable and Manus AI reached $100M ARR in less than 12 months.
The Lean Startup movement was introduced to help founders and entrepreneurs move faster and validate their business plans and products to adapt to user feedback, market condition and financial constraints. It changed the way I built ventures and also how I invest in startups.
However, founders must adapt to the new reality and speed, but also learn and apply new strategies on how to leverage AI to make lean startup methods and tools more effective. In the 3 hours workshop we will talk about how to use AI tools like Anthropic to augment your hypothesis driven search for validated business model, learn frameworks to critically assess your learnings and plan how to apply it in your own ventures.
If you are building, backing, or shaping new ventures, you must learn how Lean Startup is Reinvented with AI.
What is Lean Startup movement, what are the different tools and methodologies use to generate and validate startup business models.
AI is changing what we know about best practices to build startups. It also changes how VCs and angel investors assess and invest in startups.
Does lean startup still a valid way to build startups? what methods might change and what remains true.
Grab a cup of coffee.
We will learn the 3A's framework of AI business model generation, where we will use 3 different strategies to use AI to generate business model hypothesis effectively.
How could AI accelerate our learning by building, testing and learning. We will learn how to leverage AI coding, agents and more to learn and iterate quickly.
We are going to practice and experiment AI-driven business model generation using one of the strategies we learnt on a specific use case.
We are going to discuss the experience of applying AI to business model building in the simulation and candid discussion how it could help unlock challenges in the group's business model search.
We will end with planning the next steps on what tools, frameworks and strategies you could apply in your own ventures in the next 3-4 weeks.
