Speaker: Dr. Christian Stumpf, Entrepreneur & Founder Coach
Building a company that truly attracts investors is not about perfect pitch decks or buzzwords. It is about building strong foundations early on for creating real customer value and lead to fundability over time, turning an initial idea into a business that is worth taking seriously.
In this exclusive workshop, Christian Stumpf breaks down what makes a company genuinely fundable. Drawing from his experience as a founder and as a coach to ambitious founders, he shows how to operate early on in a way that stands up to investor thinking later. You will learn how to think in terms of Product–Market Fit and investment readiness.
This session is equally valuable for early-stage founders and for those who are considering founding their own company.
What You’ll Learn:
· From idea to Product–Market Fit: learn how to systematically validate problems, solutions, and markets to find real direction.
· What “fundable” really means: understand how investors think about risk and progress
· Building the right narrative early on: craft a story that connects problem, solution, and vision in a way that makes sense to investors.
· Investor mindset: gain insight into how investors evaluate early-stage teams and what signals matter most at the beginning.
