Discovery: Design the right product using continuous research
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
This is NOT a webinar - only come if you are an early-stage founder and want to learn something, meet other founders like you and make new connections!
Product discovery is not only a fundamental first step towards product-market fit, but a continuous process required at every stage. The Raspberry Pi Foundation - with over 37 million Raspberry Pi computers sold and 4.9 million learners accessing their online projects worldwide - have put continuous customer research at the heart of launching their new consumer product.
Join this seminar with Laura Kirsop, Head of Learning Experience at the Raspberry Pi Foundation, to learn exactly how you can use product discovery to design a world-leading edtech or future of work product.

Who is this for?
You are an 'early-stage' edtech or future of work entrepreneur. You might have raised a little angel capital, you might be looking for a co-founder, or you might still be building the courage to leave your old job and do your startup full time. But one thing unites you all - you are in that crucial first 18 months, where you need to make hard choices about where to focus with limited resources to get to an early product-market fit.
What you will get out of this session:
Practical insights on product discovery from an edtech operator who's been there and done it before
An interactive discussion on how to apply these insights within your own startup
The opportunity to meet with and learn from other early-stage edtech and future of work founder
Learning outcomes:
Understand the value of foundational user research and potential ways to approach it cheaply and efficiently
Be able to describe a design sprint and know when to use one
Understand the value of and techniques for rapid prototyping
Recognise the value of building continuous user research into your product design process
Recognise different types of research approaches, when you can use them and how to combine them to provide a richer picture
Understand how to build and use a community to test, learn and iterate your product and get your core users invested in your product
