Test-Drive Entrepreneurship: Hands-On Workshop

Ever wondered if you could start something? Or you have a small business already, but wondering about new ideas? Spend one Saturday morning finding out. No idea needed, no experience required. Most people never try entrepreneurship because they think they need a brilliant idea first. You don’t. What you actually need is a few hours, a willingness to talk to real humans, and a simple loop you can run over and over for the rest of your life. In this 3-hour hands-on workshop, you’ll get a taste of what builders actually do day-to-day, without the pressure of “having a startup.” Come with an idea, or borrow one in the room. Either way, you’ll leave with new skills, new collaborators, and the confidence that you can do this. What you’ll do: * 📝 Map a customer journey on paper. No code, no laptops, no excuses * 🎯 Build a quick prototype and put it in front of real humans (the rest of the room!) * 🔁 Run 3 rapid loops: Idea → Plan → Create → Test, refining as you go * 🤖 In the final stretch, get early access to a brand-new AI-powered founder tool (not yet public!) to take your idea further You’ll leave with: * The mindset and muscle to test any idea, now or 10 years from now * Customer interview skills you’ll use forever * A real artifact: interview guide, prototype, or next-step plan * A small crew of new collaborators Who this is for: * 🌱 The curious: “I’ve always wondered if I could…” * 🛠️ Solopreneurs and service business owners who want sharper customer discovery * ⚡ Anyone tired of overthinking and ready to do Your hosts: * Lubica Lutz: customer discovery expert, ThriveHub community leader * Marc Krejci: founder of Pathfinder Foundry, builder of the AI tool you’ll get to test Logistics: * 📅 Saturday\, June 13 \| 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM * 📍 Columbia Bank, Westlake (Downtown Seattle) * 💵 Free, thanks to our sponsor ThriveHub Foundation * 🎟️…
