You want to start a company. But how do you find an idea worth pursuing—and know whether anyone will pay for it?

Join Sebastian Schuon, Managing Director at CDTM and co-founder of Stylight and Alasco, for a practical talk on the messy early days of building a startup: finding a problem worth solving, testing demand, and knowing when to keep going or change direction.

Drawing on real founder stories, Sebastian will explore:

  • Where promising startup ideas come from—and how to find one that fits you.

  • How to tell polite interest from real customer demand.

  • What you can test and sell before building anything.

  • Common traps that keep founders attached to the wrong idea.

Whether you’re searching for your first idea or already have one you can’t stop thinking about, come get a clearer sense of what to test next.Agenda
