​Lunch & Learn: From Business Problem to Software Solution

Every business has inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and ideas that could become tools. But how does a simple idea become an app, a workflow, or an AI-powered solution?

In this session, entrepreneur and AI builder Sohaib Rumi will walk through how software is created, how founders can identify opportunities for technology in their businesses, and why understanding the basics has never been more important.

Third Tuesday of the month | 2:30pm – 3:30pm (Virtual, Invite-Only).

Built out of our most recent commercialization accelerator cohort, this peer circle is a highly interactive space for the commercialization cohort founders to actively navigate commercialization. The sessions are designed to be founder-led, practical, and shaped by the real challenges you are facing as you move from idea to market traction.

From Zero to Momentum is a hands-on Founder Lab designed for early-stage entrepreneurs who want to validate an idea before investing significant time or money.

Over one day, you’ll work through a proven startup framework to define your customer, validate the problem you’re solving, identify your biggest assumptions, and leave with a clear action plan for what to test next.

You’ll spend less time talking about your idea and more time building, challenging assumptions, and getting feedback from other founders.

Ideal for founders with an early-stage idea, side project, MVP, or pre-revenue startup.
