This 60-minute session led by Sohini Mazumdar, PhD is a hands-on introduction to product-market fit for academic founders in clinical and research settings: is this solving a problem that matters, and will someone actually pay for it? How do you know, and how do you find out? Attendees get an introduction to the market validation framework, including how to identify the real customer, and how to recognize real validation: evidence that someone will actually adopt or pay for the solution. Attendees leave with a clearer read on their idea and one concrete next step. ​Speaker: Sohini Mazumdar, PhD ​This event is in-person at CRC. Can't make it over from the med campus?
