Validation Camp

Validation Camp is designed to help hackers to understand customer development. Participants learn how to seek demand and, accordingly, iterate/pivot their products, based on customer insights. It offers a roadmap for the quest to “make something people want” and participating teams are expected to have an idea (a problem-solution hypothesis to test) as a starting point. To apply, please fill out the following form: http://string.ventures/application-form/ Please note that teams may apply with just ideas, so the "Is the Solution Launched and Used?" section of the form is optional.
