As part of this semester's Founder Friday series, we're excited to invite you to a special session with Visual Craft, Founder Institute's trusted development partner. CEO, Andrew Osipov, will be joining us to share practical insights on why jumping straight into development is often a costly mistake — and what every founder should do first to make sure their idea is validated, focused, and ready to build. Visual Craft has supported numerous startups through their product design and development journey — from initial concept all the way to launch. This is a great opportunity to learn how to set up a strong foundation for your idea.
We highly encourage all founders to attend — especially those preparing to move from idea to execution.
This session will cover:
• How to turn your idea into a clear, actionable product vision
• Key steps in the research and discovery phase
• How to prototype effectively to validate with users and impress investors
• What to include in your pre-development roadmap to avoid common early-stage pitfalls
