📢 Updates on "Pre-Sell to Validate." Creating an online course has proved to be much more time-consuming than I thought ;)

During the past weeks, I've been scripting and recording course lessons, but I'm not yet ready to launch it, which is why I've postponed the release date until November 15th.

If you're interested in learning how to validate startup ideas, this is your course. It's discounted until its official release.
