Aspiring Founders ProgramOur team started with five members learning the Lean Stack methodology in a collaborative and competitive landscape of five teams attempting to go from idea to traction through customer validation a product/service with $10,000,000 in revenue within three years. We ended up with just two of us by the end with our team with a mentor and coach. We learned customer discovery and validation, lean sprints, strategy, sales, right action-right time, reducing risk for startup failure. We took a back of the napkin idea to have a conversation with yourself as a mirror self-feedback technology to an ever changing lean canvas.Through countless customer discovery interviews (50+) speaking with sales managers, directors, and VP of sales. We found problems sales teams were having and sought to build a well-being / mental health solution. We discovered the cutting edge artificial intelligence software companies using chatbots, natural language processing, and digital humans. We also explored sentiment analysis and tools to build confidence and empathy. We discovered the feasibility of having a conversation with a personal digital avatar is not possible currently but likely will be within 3-5 years and will revolutionize many industries from therapy to sales and coaching.We learned how to pivot from idea to idea seeking customer problem and product market fit. We set up our own customer factory to validate $10,000,000 ARR (annual recurring revenue).I learned how to use Webflow, build a website a few hours, built several iterations of video demos, assembled a mafia offer and created a lifetime of lessons for how to succeed as an early stage startup. We ultimately ended up with a demo called AI mirror, or mirror AI which allows you to remove limiting beliefs and see yourself through a new lens in just 5 minutes a day by looking at life through the lens of your personal heroes but failed to achieve product market fit in time.
