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
