Early-stage founders building products with AI often build alone. Or they're surrounded by people who don't share the same challenges.
Mind the Product and Pendo are bringing together a curated, small group of early-stage founders for a focused afternoon of building, peer learning, and connection.
Every founder brings their own product and a specific challenge to work through. We pair you with a small group of founders who get it, a coach with the experience to help, and three hours to actually move things forward.
This event is designed for a specific kind of founder – and we review every application to make sure the room reflects that.
You're a strong fit if:
- You're an early-stage founder with a product actively in market or in development (not merely in the idea stage)
- You're building with AI in a meaningful way
- You can come prepared with a specific challenge to work through
- You want to actually build and leave having made a real impact in your work
Fireside Chat: Building the Right Thing When AI Makes Everything Feel Possible
When AI lowers the cost of building, the hard question shifts from can we build it? to should we? For early-stage founders, that's both exciting and disorienting — the backlog gets infinite right when prioritization matters most. Todd and Zain are working through this in real time with Novus. This isn't a polished success story. It's an honest conversation about how they're making those calls: how they think about product-market fit, and how they stay aligned on strategy when the landscape keeps moving. They'll open up about what's working, and what they'd do differently.
