From Idea to Prototype

Too often, founders spend months building before discovering that customers don’t want what they’ve created.

This workshop, led by James Lucas (Lunos), introduces a different approach: starting with customers and revenue first.

In this session, you will:

• Compare the traditional start-up journey with Lunos’ customer-first approach.
• Learn how to design early pilots that bring ventures to life quickly.
• Create an actionable plan for taking your idea to real customers.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll feel more confident about your next steps, equipped with practical tools to validate your idea, and ready to build traction with early adopters.

This session is designed for students, academics, and professional staff interested in launching or supporting social ventures.
