#01 Validating a Problem | Alice Bentinck | Slush 2023
Channel: Slush
Date: 05/12/2023

To become a founder, you need an idea, but as the saying goes, ideas are worth little if executed poorly. Choosing a problem to solve may seem straightforward in theory, given the daily challenges we all encounter. Yet, in practice, it's often a complex journey. Your problem must resonate with a broad customer group to be scalable and VC-fundable. Effectively validating a problem can save you valuable time and resources, and this talk will show you how.

Alice Bentinck, Co-Founder of Entrepreneur First and the author of “How to Be a Founder” book, helps you succeed with this first step on the long entrepreneurial rollercoaster by sharing her insights from validating problems with hundreds of early-stage companies.
