9 out of 10 startups fail. Not because the idea was bad\u2014but because they didn\u2019t test it early enough.<\/p>\n
Before you build your product, hire a team, or spend another six months perfecting your pitch, ask yourself:<\/p>\n
Is this really landing with anyone beyond my inner circle?<\/p>\n
On September 16th, join us for Flash Pitch & Validation, an in-person event supported by and hosted at Invest Ottawa, designed to give you immediate, unfiltered clarity.<\/p>\n
In just two minutes, you\u2019ll pitch your business idea and pricing in front of a room of strangers\u2014then receive live audience feedback via Menti. No fluff. No decks. Just raw signal that shows you what\u2019s working and what\u2019s not.<\/p>\n
This is your chance to pressure-test your assumptions, catch early demand signals, and gauge product-market fit\u2014before you invest more time, money, and energy.<\/p>\n
