Are You Solving a Problem People Actually Care About?

About this event

What makes a business idea worth pursuing? And how do you know people actually need what you're offering?

Join us for the first Cleveland Founder Circle session as we explore one of the most important parts of building a successful business: understanding the problem you're solving and the people you're solving it for. This will be an interactive presentation and discussion, not just a lecture.

What we'll explore:

• How to identify meaningful customer problems.

• How to understand your target customers.

• How to determine whether people actually need your product or service.

• How to test business assumptions before investing significant time and money.

• Common mistakes entrepreneurs make when developing business ideas.

Interactive activity: Bring your own business idea, product, or service. We'll work through how to identify the problem it solves, who needs it, and how you could validate your assumptions. Other entrepreneurs will have an opportunity to share perspectives, ask questions, and provide feedback.

Who should attend? Aspiring entrepreneurs, startup founders, small business owners, and anyone interested in building or improving a business. No preparation or prior business experience required.

Our goal: Everyone should leave with a better understanding of their customers and one practical next step they can apply to their own business. Come learn, participate, and build with us!
