​Silicon Valley Idea Lab: Pressure Test Your Early-Stage Startup or Build from Fresh Concepts

​Where the Startup-Curious and Startup-Serious Build What's Next

​WHY ATTEND?

• ​99% of pitches fail—not because of bad ideas but due to lack of proof.

• ​Bridge the gap between idea and funding with hands-on validation.

• ​Leave with a clear roadmap: Build, pivot, or pitch confidently.

​WHO SHOULD ATTEND

• ​Full-time founders: Accelerate your validation process and refine your product direction (pre-seed/0 to 12 months old
