The Key to Efficient Decision-Making by Approaching MVPs the Right Way

What's the one assumption your entire business depends on?

Most founders can't answer this question. Many start building, adding features, refining flows, perfecting design… hoping the market validates the idea before the money runs out and answers for them. 
This session is for the founders who want proof before action, instead of waiting for answers. 

About this event 

A Minimal Viable Problem (MVP) is not a smaller version of your product, a prototype, a beta, or a "lite" edition. It is a decision-making tool with one job: to prove or disprove the single most critical assumption your business depends on. 
In this 45 minute structured session, Javier Mateache Calderon, CEO & Co-Founder at NomuLabs and active investor, will walk you through how to scope, define, and build an MVP that answers the right question before you spend another day in development. This is not just theory, but studies drawn directly from real cases of MVPs built at NomuLabs. It is a framework built from observing both what works and what quietly destroys early-stage companies. 

Format

45 minute structured presentation, followed by open Q&A. 
Insights are shared from both a CEO and investor perspective, meaning you’ll not only hear what to build, but also what investors look for when assessing whether a team has validated something meaningful before raising capital. 

Especially for Non-Technical Founders

You don't need to know how to code to make good technical decisions. But you do need to understand what those decisions cost in time, money, and optionality. This session gives non-technical founders the vocabulary and framework to have that conversation clearly, with co-founders, developers, and investors.
