This practical working sessi on\nwill help participants identify real market signals before spending\nm onths on the wrong customer\, pricing\, message\, or channel.\n\nThe sessi on is designed for students\, graduate students\, founders\,\nstartup oper ators\, and project builders interested in\nentrepreneurship\, innovation\ , commercialization\, and applied\ndecision-making. Participants will lear n how to recognize common\ndecision traps\, separate real market signals f rom polite feedback\, and\nthink more clearly about what to test before bu ilding\, selling\, or\nscaling further.\n\nThe session is led by Vivian Wa ng\, an MBET graduate student at the\nConrad School of Entrepreneurship an d Business and founder of Growth\nPartner AI\, which was recently recogniz ed as part of Scale Up\nCanada’s Waterloo 50.
