Event | November 6 | Build your Start-up with Achmea: “It all starts with the problem”

Many start-ups fail not because their solution is bad, but because the problem they are solving isn’t significant or urgent enough. At Achmea Impact Ventures, everything starts with clearly defining the problem. This event is all about that: how do you know if your solution addresses a real, urgent problem? And how do you discover that early — before spending months building a product that no one really wants?

What to expect

During this event, we’ll guide you through the our way of work on problem validation. You’ll learn how to quickly test if you’re on the right track using the right methods, and you’ll get practical tools you can immediately apply to your own idea.
