Product-market fit training for founders and teams

I train founders and innovation teams to find a real problem, test it with customers and build a first version quickly, using AI for rapid prototyping.

What I teach

  • Problem validation and product-market fit: is this a real, painful and frequent problem?
  • Customer interviews: telling polite feedback from real evidence.
  • Planning a minimum viable product around the riskiest assumption.
  • Rapid prototyping with AI, to test an idea before building it properly.

Track record

I have trained 150+ founders in Malaysian accelerator programmes.

For corporate teams: The Impact Gap

The Impact Gap is a two-day programme for teams inside Malaysian corporates who are expected to turn an AI idea into a real business outcome, not just a proof of concept. It takes a team from a real pain point to a first customer, with AI used to speed up the work.

  • Day 1, led by me: problem validation, product-market fit, customer interviews and rapid prototyping with AI. Tom leading a session, standing among participants working at laptops
  • Day 2, led by Ivy Wan: customer profile, market size, pricing and a focused first route to market. Ivy Wan leading a day 2 session, with participants working in pairs

Every team leaves with an evidence-based problem definition, a working AI prototype, a view on pricing and unit economics, a focused route to market, and reusable AI coaching prompts. A free one-hour group question session follows within 4 weeks.
