Next week I’m hosting a webinar over Zoom on startup fundamentals. We will cover; talking to your customers for the first time, prototyping on a budget and how to get traction without investment. All topics that are essential for founders to get familiar with yet often it’s difficult to get this information in a digestible way. The goal for me is offering a bunch of practical examples and (hopefully) communicating it in way that is super actionable.
It was originally going to be just for Monash students but we’ve decided to open it up so anyone can join. It will be live with a live Q&A as we go, it will be an interesting experiment from my perspective as I typically like to present these things in person. All part of the shift to online during the pandemic!
I’ll post up the recording here and make it part of my series of posts for newbie founders looking to take the plunge during these extraordinary times.

Building Blocks of a Startup Webinar
Startups are highly flexible businesses that are created to solve problems in the world. Whether itās keeping people connected (Facebook or Instagram), helping people become more mobile (Uber) or making traditional industries more agile (think Deliveroo for hospitality), a startup often begins in an uncertain environment and navigates how to create value in tiny, agile steps.
Deciding to create your own startup project is exciting at the same time as daunting but incredibly rewarding and can open up your world to vast opportunities.
At the Generator we want to make sure you are building strong foundational blocks beneath you, so you can step foot onto a solid pathway in your entrepreneurial journey!
The Generator is thrilled to announce that we will be running an online webinar presented by James Alexander, Co-founder of Galileo Ventures, which will dive into some of the building blocks of a startup that will move your company towards a trajectory of success.
